What Should You Ask Your Lawyer When It Comes To PPI Claims

By Abigail J Dean

It's become a commonly known fact that payment protection insurance has been widely mis sold throughout the UK. PPI claims are something of a given if you want to get your money back. However, there are several things that you need to know before you proceed with a claim and it's important that you talk to your lawyer or solicitor about these things.

Firstly, there are many different types of payment protection insurance. When making PPI claims you can actually claim for any of the following:

MPPI (Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance), Premium Protection Insurance, Accident Sickness and Unemployment Insurance, Accident Sickness and Redundancy Insurance, Premium Protection Insurance, Income Protection Insurance, Mortgage Payment Protection, Mortgage Payment Insurance, Loan Protection Insurance, Credit Care Insurance, Credit Care.

They actually all mean the same thing. They're all just different terminologies used to describe exactly the same thing. If you've ever had a loan or a credit card, chances are there was some payment protection insurance included which may have been mis sold to you. The policies are usually over priced and most of the time they don't offer you the protection that you really need.

Unemployment cover for example is something that a lot of people would love to have but usually it doesn't actually work out quite the way you were hoping, should you ever be unemployed. A lot of the time, the terminology in these policies is written in a way that not everyone understands and that's a big problem.

Before you make any sort of claim, you'll need to speak to your lawyer to ensure that you understand the process involved. Make sure that you understand the terminologies that'll be used and be sure to read everything twice and then again! Don't waste your time by forgetting to ask questions. You can get free legal advice if you need it.

When it comes to finding a lawyer, make sure that you are aware of their fees upfront. Most of the time, when you make PPI claims, you're likely to get all your money back and if you don't, you won't have to pay the lawyer. However, make sure that you think about all the outcomes before you proceed with any claim.
