Almost every one has a credit card today,What is PPI And How to Claim PPI Compensation Articles which comes in handy when you fall short of cash and need to make a purchase.  Every credit card has a unique identification number which helps to speed up the shopping transaction.

 

The majority of people who engage with a financial institution on the basis of obtaining a loan, credit card or HP agreement will probably have taken out some sort of Payment Protection Insurance, commonly known as PPI. It has recently come to light that many people who have purchased PPI may have been mis-sold and therefore entitled to PPI compensation. Common factors that should be checked when assessing if any compensation is payable are: Unemployment cover, medical aspects, and ‘single premium’ loan purchases, details appertaining to the insurance cover and whether you have consolidated your borrowing.

3. You were told it was compulsory at the time of sale.

4.  You were not asked whether you had any other insurance which would cover the loan

5. The terms and conditions of the policy were not explained to you.

6. You increased your loan and the PPI was increased automatically
