A survey by the Citizens Advice Bureaux (CAB), printed in September 2005 discovered that 85 per cent of those that had attempted to utilize their PPI policy had been unsuccessful and had his or her request refused. Although possibly not necessarily normal or representative of the broader concept the CAB findings make salutary studying.People wanting to make PPI Claims may discover the following cases helpful in support with assessing the suitability of cover and the actual risks of both deliberate or accidental non-compliance with the small print!Mrs T from London mentioned that she was encouraged to take out insurance policies when she took out a personal loan. When she hesitated over this the ‘helpful’ advisor indicated it might be a excellent idea ‘just in case’. Currently she is expecting and unsurprisingly, is not really insured for maternity leave.Mrs V from Essex made her mortgage loan cover claim following being made redundant from her very well paid occupation having made repayments for 3 years. She duly signed on with the Job centre as a condition of her insurance although she thought it impractical that she might find a job as well paid as her previous position. This turned out to be the case and immediately after three months her Job centre advisor insisted she take a placement as a Filing Clerk. Mrs V deemed this type of job intolerable and unsurprisingly ceased visiting the job centre and was as a result not able to pursue her claim.Mr S from Eastbourne and also his wife had mortgage loan insurance policy on a £200,000 mortgage loan. Mr S lost his occupation but was not able to qualify for Job seekers allowance because his assets were too excessive. Having paid £60 each month for protection which didn’t materialise, Mr S said he felt swindled.A self-employed male from London was careful to tick the correct boxes, examine a PPI compensation guide and show due diligence in putting in his very best to make sure he met the requirements for cover. When brand new work dried up for him he tried to make a claim, merely to be told he would have to announce himself bankrupt before he would certainly be eligible. Mr T took out a mortgage in 1989 and his broker set up PPI with the mortgage lender for him as a self-employed partner in business. Mr T specifically asked if he would be insured as a self-employed particular person and was told without a doubt. The business were unable, he tried to make a claim but was told the small print said it just insured men and women who were declaring joblessness benefit.
