0

There have been more than 340,000 payment protection insurance policies sold in Ireland over the last five years.

Many of these policies will have been mis-sold to people.

Common reasons why you may have been mis-sold a PPI policy include

If uou are under 18 or over 65
If you work less than 16 hours a week
If you are self-employed or unemployed
If you have pre-existing medical conditions
If you are on contract or temporary work
If you were told that taking such a policy out would help you get the loan approved.

If you think you have been mis-sold a payment protection insurance policy, you should take the following steps:

First and most obviously find out if you have a PPI policy. Check your statements to see if there are any deductions that you can’t explain. It may not be listed separately so it is also worth ringing your lender to ask.
If you have one you will need to write to your lender asking for the following documents:
A signed copy of any consent or application form
A copy of all fact-find completed by the salesperson and all the contemporaneous file notes they may have taken at the time.
Ask what the cost of the policy is and what total you have paid to date
Ask for a copy of the PPI policy document you were sold and any explanatory notes

Address the letter to the compliance officer reporting to the Central Bank.

If a lender refuses your request for a refund the next step is to lodge a complaint with the Financial Services Ombudsman for arbitration.
