Unfair commission Halifax Mortgage

Options
Hi,


I have PPI on my Halifax mortgage. however I do not want to make a claim for an unfair sale as if I am out of work for any reason it will pay my mortgage for 2 years. if I make a claim and it is successful then my PPI will be cancelled.


Plus as I have made previous claims I figure the amount I would be paid out minus the previous claims will not be more than 2 years worth of mortgage payments.


However I am aware of the recent Plevin Court case and the even more recent Doran v Paragon Personal Finance.


I believe if I complain about unfair commission then I am not complaining about an unfair sale and therefore my PPI won't be cancelled.


When I have sought advice from Halifax's FAQ its seems I can only claim for unfair commission if I have been unsuccessful in a claim for unfair sale.


This to me doesn't seem right and in its self unfair. does anyone have any advice how to proceed?

    Plevin only replies to rejected mis-selling complaints. So you'd have to complain that your PPI was mis-sold I'm afraid.

    How is it unfair?

    You either have a refund and the insurance ends or your insurance cover continues (as you want) and you get no refund. You can't have it both ways.

    It's difficult to envisage a scenario where you'll get even a part refund and also get to continue with your insurance policy.

    Sorry.

    Why do you think there was commission that was unfair ?

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
