The Original PPI Scandal

To appreciate why this new opportunity matters, let’s revisit the history of the PPI scandal:

What Was PPI?

Payment Protection Insurance was marketed as a safety net for loan, mortgage, or credit card repayments, designed to support you if you became ill, lost your job, or encountered unexpected difficulties.

The Mis-Selling Crisis

Banks mis-sold PPI to millions of people—many didn’t need it, couldn’t use it, or were unaware they had purchased it. This led to widespread outrage and resulted in billions being refunded to affected customers.

Yet, despite the backlash, 40% of eligible people didn’t claim. Many were unaware they could, while others were discouraged by the complexity of the claims process.

This new claim opportunity builds on the lessons of the past, ensuring you can recover what’s rightfully yours with ease and confidence.

PPI Claims Resurface with New Legal Action Targeting Hidden Commissions

A fresh wave of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) claims is emerging, concentrating on the billions of pounds in undisclosed commissions that banks and credit card companies have taken from customers. This legal initiative seeks to bring a definitive end to the PPI scandal.

Legal experts believe that this collective action could finally resolve the PPI issue. Despite previous settlements, financial institutions still owe the public substantial amounts in secret commissions.

Importantly, the August 2019 PPI claim deadline does not apply to these new claims concerning hidden commissions. This legal approach also eliminates the need for claims management companies, simplifying the process for consumers.

This development underscores the importance of staying informed and taking action to reclaim what may be rightfully yours.

The New Legal Action: Targeting Hidden Commissions

This fresh multi-billion-pound claim differs from the original wave of PPI claims, which focused on mis-selling. Now, the spotlight is on the staggering secret commissions banks and credit card companies deducted from customers.

An estimated six million people could be eligible to join this collective legal action, potentially marking the end of the PPI scandal. Experts predict this case could cost financial institutions another £18 billion.

For years, banks charged customers undisclosed commissions of up to 95% on their PPI policies. These excessive charges open the door to claims under the Consumer Credit Act. If successful, banks and credit card providers could be required to refund all PPI payments, plus additional interest.

This is your chance to hold financial institutions accountable and reclaim what’s yours.

Collective Legal Action: Streamlining PPI Claims

Harcus Parker, a leading law firm, has initiated a collective legal action by filing an application at Birmingham County Court to manage PPI secret commission claims. This strategy aims to consolidate outstanding claims, compelling banks to refund the full cost of mis-sold insurance products.

This approach eliminates the need for claims management companies, simplifying the process for claimants. By handling these claims through the courts, solicitors can manage them more cost-effectively, making it feasible to pursue smaller claims—often under £1,000. The average payout for these new claims is estimated to be around £2,500, a substantial amount for households facing rising costs.

This collective action offers a streamlined and efficient path to reclaim funds that may be rightfully yours.

Understanding the Journey:
What to Expect from the PPI Group Litigation

Timeframe: Patience is Key

Group litigation, particularly large-scale cases, can take years to resolve. Claimants should be prepared for a process that could last at least 18 months. However, an early settlement by the defendants could potentially shorten the timeline.

Group Claims: Strength in Numbers

Your claim will be handled as part of a collective action, bringing together individuals with similar cases. By pooling resources, we strengthen our ability to challenge the banks and counter their attempts to avoid repayment. This group approach ensures that every claim—large or small—receives the attention it deserves, making the process fair and financially sustainable.

Economies of Scale: Cost-Effective Claims

Managing claims as a group provides significant advantages. Costs are shared among all claimants, enabling a high standard of legal scrutiny and ensuring smaller claims are pursued with the same dedication as larger ones.

Settlement: What to Expect

If a settlement becomes possible, it’s important to recognise that calculating individual damages in detail might not be practical for every case. Instead, the focus will be on achieving a fair result for the entire group. By joining this collective action, you’re not only pursuing your own compensation but also contributing to a broader effort to hold banks accountable and reclaim funds they wrongfully withheld. Patience and unity are key to achieving a just outcome—take the first step towards reclaiming what’s yours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This claim is focused on recovering hidden commissions charged on PPI policies, also known as “Plevin claims.” These claims stem from a 2017 Supreme Court decision where it was determined that excessive undisclosed commissions made the relationship between lenders and consumers unfair. If you were charged commissions exceeding 50% on your PPI policy, you may be eligible for compensation.

You may qualify if you paid PPI premiums with undisclosed commissions. To confirm, provide any documentation related to your credit agreements. If you no longer have these records, we can request them from your lender on your behalf.

You are not eligible if:

  1. Your credit product was taken out before 6 April 2007 and concluded before 6 April 2008.
  2. You successfully made a previous Plevin complaint.
  3. You already received full compensation for your PPI policy.

The compensation depends on the size of your loan and the commissions you were charged. On average, customers receive around £3,200, contributing to an estimated £18 billion in claims.

The claim is based on Section 140 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which addresses unfair relationships between creditors and debtors. Hidden commissions within PPI policies led to an imbalance of knowledge, depriving consumers of informed choices.

It’s helpful if you can provide:

  • Loan/credit card agreements.
  • Statements or correspondence from the lender.

If you don’t have these documents, we can request them through a Data Subject Access Request or directly from the lender.

It’s unlikely you’ll need to provide witness evidence. In rare cases, you may be asked to participate as a test case, but we’ll prepare you thoroughly.

We work on a no-win, no-fee basis. If successful, you’ll pay 35% of your compensation plus VAT and shared disbursement costs. If the claim fails, you pay nothing.

Litigation can take up to 18 months or longer, depending on the case’s complexity. Early settlements may shorten this timeline.

Initial defendants include major financial institutions such as Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Santander, and others. Additional claims may involve a wide range of lenders, including Nationwide, Tesco, and American Express.

Our funder will indemnify you against costs if the claim fails. Additional insurance will cover potential legal costs, ensuring minimal financial risk to you.
