Plevin Claim
Are you one of millions who was paying over the odds with more than 50% of your PPI payments going solely towards commission as opposed to the cost of your policy?
What is it?
What is a Plevin Claim?
In 2014 Susan Plevin discovered she was paying 72% of her premiums solely towards commission to Paragon as opposed to the cost of her policy. She took Paragon to the supreme court and won. Now, thanks to that case millions of others are due refunds too
PPI has been largely in the public domain for the last decade with refunds toppling £38 billion. Once the court had ruled in Susan Plevin's favour the FCA had to decide what was unfair when it came to commission and how banks should refund customers affected. It was decided that the tipping point would be at 50%. Therefore if the amount of commission you paid exceeded 50% you would be due the difference as compensation, plus compensatory and associated interest. Now the deadline has come in to place the normal DISP channel has now closed. As a result, these cases are now being handled in the courts, as here the deadline does not apply. Given that the revelation of unfair commission is only a few years old and the rules around compensation even more recent, normal statutes of limitation have only just began to apply.
Meaning despite the deadline consumers are still legally protected and can have their day in court. As a result, in some cases a few banks have decided to offer compensation despite receiving Plevin complaints after the deadline, whilst those that they refuse are lining themselves up for a legal battle. Furthermore, Canada Square Operations vs. Potter resulted in the normal 6 year limitation being overturned; resulting in the door being opened for even more potential claimants. So if you felt you missed out on a PPI refund, or even had one rejected in the past then you may just have a second chance.
Who is affected
Who is affected by these financial claims
Plevin claims are only possible with the presence of a PPI policy, so much like them they affect anyone who may have taken finance right back to the 1970s - including credit cards, loans, mortgages and consumer finances e.g. sofa, store purchase etc.
Over 50
The one's who deserve a break
The longer you've had a finance with PPI the higher the potential refund for any Plevin claim. Also each finance will have had it's own rate of commission meaning many people have multiple claims
Under 50 but over 18
The sweet spots
A lot of people who previously had their consumer credit claims rejected all of a sudden have an opportunity to reclaim for unfair commission. Most providers were not regulated until 2005 meaning they were able to refuse many complaints that the larger banks could not. However unfair commission complaints don't escape anybody so if you've had a store card or catalogue finance make sure you get yours checked
