PPI Reclaiming Made EasyIf you’ve taken out a loan, mortgage or creditcard in the last six years, you may be able toreclaim £1,000s.

When taking out a loan, credit card ormortgage, it's likely you would have beenoffered payment protection insurance (PPI)with it. This is a form of insurance designed tocover your repayments in the event of anaccident, sickness or unemployment.

Payment protection insurance (PPI) itself isn'ta bad product. But it's been widely mis-sold,leaving many paying hundreds for potentiallyworthless cover. If this applies to you, you maybe able to reclaim what you've paid.

Generally, the amount you pay for loan PPI isabout 15% of your balance but it could be upto 30%. It doesn't sound much, but it quicklymounts up. For example, on a £5,000 loan

you'd pay £750 for insurance. On a mortgage,the cost of PPI often runs into thousands.You may have been told insurance wascompulsory – it isn't, and that alone counts asmis-selling. Plus, the self-employed,unemployed, retired, those with pre-existingconditions, or who are covered elsewhere,have all commonly been sold unnecessarypolicies.

Reclaiming PPI is something you can quiteeasily do yourself. There are some greatresources of information available online tohelp you through the process. But, if thatfeels like too much hassle, why not let AegisLaw do the hard work for you? One phone callis all it takes.
