PPI Payment Protection Insurance

Major banks have set aside hundreds of thousands of pounds to repay claims for mis-selling for those who took out Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) to cover credit card debt and other types of loans.

PPI was supposed to cover repayments on your borrowing if you couldn't pay because you were unable to work because of illness or an accident or because you had been made redundant.

But in many cases borrowers were mis-led when taking out the insurance. You have been mis-sold this cover if you would never have been able to claim because of the restrictions in the policy, for instance if you are self-employed, or you didn't realise you had the option of turning it down when you were offered it. The most obvious cases are those where people never even realised it had been added on to their credit card agreement.

Use the calculator to find out how much you might be able to claim back. First make a claim to your credit card provider. Because of the large volume of claims, the eight week deadline for it to handle your claim has been extended – so give it time.

If your claim is rejected you can take your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
