Posts: 111 Forumite
I took out a mortgage in the late 1990’s with National & Provincial it was a 100% mortgage and a condition was that I took out Mortgage protection insurance this was a monthly payment which carried on through Abbey National take over & finally Santander - the mortgage was paid off a couple of years ago I never made a claim for mis selling as I did use the policy in the early years for a couple of months when I was made redundant but I did wonder if I could make a claim under Plevin

You can't claim under Plevin, you have to complain about the policy and if they don't agree they will look at Plevin - Plevin is ONLY applicable to complaints about PPI that are rejected
If you did use the policy it also limits your complaint reasons, so you might get lucky with a rejection and Plevin but you can't complain directly about itSam 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.

Did you pay the mortgage off before 2008? if so, plevin does not apply.
Did you ever remortgage or buy new deals with them? if so, plevin may not apply.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

"negotiating" deals is buying a new deal. Called rate switching nowadays. Doing that means the original contract is superceded by a new one. Mortgage contracts were not always covered under the CCA. Some were unregulated and some were covered under MCOB. it is only the ones under the CCA where Plevin may apply.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
