To claim or not

I had a bank loan many many years ago. I seem to know you can only go back a few years. I had PPI on it. A bit silly I know but is it worth claiming.

Comments

  • Presumably you mean complain, rather than claim. Do you have complaint reasons?
  • I was self employed at the time, The PPI I seem to remember paid the due monthly repayment if I was out of work. This happened but the payments were declined. The reason the bank gave me was I had to be out of work a minimum of least 30 days before any payment was made. Miss sold or what.
  • In this case, it's 'or what'.

    That's not mis selling - it's a term of the policy, and a fairly standard one.

    That would fall into the "what" category.

    These products have a waiting period as they are not designed to cover very short term issues, the expectation is that any period would be covered by your normal day to day savings.

    It also verifies that you were covered as self employed as well.
