Is It Useful To Hire Claim Management Companies To Help You With Your PPI Claims?

By Kevin Wray


Since the time that it had been revealed that banks confessed that they did actually mis-sell Payment Protection Insurance to their consumers, influx of PPI claims started expanding. On the other hand, based on the banks half of those who are making PPI claims are bogus. Seemingly, banks are blaming unscrupulous claim management companies in exploiting consumers that don't even own the policy to start with.

Based on surveys it was discovered that the key reason why clients turn to claim management companies to help them with their PPI claims is because they don't know the process of how to go about it. To resolve this concern a summit attended by several banks and loan association involved in the mis-selling pledged that they're going to develop the system as easy as possible so individuals can do it on their own.

Considering the facts, will it actually solve as well as make the processing of PPI claims as swift as possible for the consumers? With regards to making the procedure simple then it is a definite yes. On the other hand, can consumers put back the trust in the same financing institution that has misled them from the beginning? Can the consumers take the word of the banks that they will actually pay the consumers back?

One effective recommendation for consumers if they are seriously willing in claiming the premiums plus the interest that was mi-sold to them then they need to be thorough with how they make their dealings. Taking into account the assurances that was expressed by banks and loan providers on the recent PPI summit then it is really possible not to employ any longer the services of claim management companies to carry out the processing of paper work for PPI claims. Nevertheless it should not be ignored that no matter how easy it is, customers still need to spare extra time to accomplish it.

Meanwhile on the extremes that their lending companies reject their PPI claims then they can bring their case to the Financial Ombudsman. Obviously, additional time is required to be spared by the consumer. With this, the services of claim management companies seem quite indispensable. This is because they will file your case with the banks and if denied will bring it to the Financial Ombudsman on your behalf. Updated reports will also be provided to the consumer on the status of their case.

Consequently, the client needs to be careful so as not to repeat the same history of being misled again. Allow the lesson that happened between you and the loan provider will not occur with the claim management company you will choose to hire. Check first if they're stated as authorized companies by the Ministry of Justice. Further, make an inquiry on the cost they will impose for their service before finalizing your contract with them.

It is true that PPI claims have become a financial bonanza for unregistered claim management companies to take advantage of innocent consumers by charging so much that in the end nothing will be left for consumer to receive. But with the Ministry of Justice now implementing a stricter rules as well as penalizing even authorized companies if they become abusive, it is now evident that consumers can be at peace in letting these companies help them with their claims.
