PPI claim forms-paperwork thats essential

There are three essential elements to PPI claim forms.  One of them is the claim form itself – another is the paperwork you signed to take out the credit agreement in question and the final element is your ‘proof’ – the statement you make to show that you’ve been charged for PPI when you didn’t need, want or request it.

Three reasons that PPI hasn’t been sold correctly.

  • If you’re self-employed, you normally can’t take out some forms of PPI.  They won’t pay out if you lose your job for any reason, or your business collapses.  There are some forms of PPI that would cover this, but they aren’t designed to be attached to standard credit agreements.  These specialist PPI policies are also more expensive and often require additional discussion.  So if you’re self-employed and were mis sold PPI, you may need to fill out some PPI claim forms.
  • If you didn’t ask for it – new rules introduced mean that PPI has to be explained separately, and it has to be clear that they are not part of the loan.  It’s vital therefore that if you weren’t asked, or didn’t ASK for PPI, that you ensure that you reclaim the payments you’ve made.
  • If you weren’t sure – finally, if PPI was confusing, or you were under the impression it was included as part of your loan as standard, you may need to reclaim your money, if you feel it was mis-sold.

It’s important to continue your payments when you’re looking at your PPI claim forms, and ensure that you’re meeting the needs of your repayment schedule, or your whole loan could default.  You don’t want that, because it’ll mean that you have a default against your credit rating – and you can’t appeal it simply because you’re reclaiming your PPI.  Be prepared too, for the companies, especially some companies with bad reputations, to possibly play hardball and ensure that anything they say will happen is mentioned to the team dealing with your claim – otherwise, you may worry needlessly.  You’re not doing anything wrong reclaiming PPI, if it’s been mis sold, the money is yours and you should fill out PPI claim forms to get your money back.
