PPI - Broker or Building Society ?

Posts: 2 Newbie
My daughter and her husband took out a mortgage through a mortgage broker in 2010. This was on an interest only basis with a fixed rate and had a mortgage protection policy was also provided. She thinks that they were miss-sold the protection policy and I believe should also have a "Plevin" claim. However, who should she approach about her PPI claim, the mortgage broker or the Nationwide BS who provided the mortgage ?

What type of mortgage protection? (it is a non-specific term that can cover a number of different insurances. The most common being life assurance. Which is not PPI)and I believe should also have a "Plevin" claim.
I very much doubt that is the case. If it is PPI and the complaint is rejected, then a plevin check will be done but mortgage brokers commission is typically around the 15-30% mark. Way under the 50% tipping point. Even bank MPPI is under the tipping point if you didnt include profit share. Its only the profit share that takes it over. Brokers didn't get involved in profitshare.However, who should she approach about her PPI claim, the mortgage broker or the Nationwide BS who provided the mortgage ?
The broker. However, do be aware that brokers only account for under 1% of PPI complaints and the majority are rejected. Whilst it is possible to be missold, its not generally viewed as a broker issue.
You also havent mentioned what the complaint reasons are. Plus, you need to check what type of insurance it actually is.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

Check the type of insurance. Contact both the broker and the bank. Could be any.0

Plevin would be a non-starter as not relevant for regulated mortgages which theirs would be.0

I'd still contact both. The ppi could've been sold after the mortgage, or during a telephone call post application but pre completion. It happens. If you contact both there's nothing to lose.0

Based on all your feedback...I will approach the broker not the BS, I don't expect Plevin and also as less than 1% of PPI claims come from brokers, do not expect success.0

A 2010 sale is also very likely to have a very comprehensive audit trail, which makes the prospect of your complaint being successful even more remote. Plevin will not apply.Ricardo_du_Cannes wrote: »Based on all your feedback...I will approach the broker not the BS, I don't expect Plevin and also as less than 1% of PPI claims come from brokers, do not expect success.
What exactly is the complaint, bearing mind that Mortgage PPI is a useful insurance still being retailed today?0
