How to choose a PPI company

With so many PPI companies out there it can sometimes be a daunting task trying to find out which PPI company to use.

Like any industry there will be good companies and bad companies, so how should you go about filtering out the bad, and choosing the best company to go with.

Things to avoid

Firstly if you receive any form of message, whether it be via telephone, text or email, that specifies an amount of compensation that you are ‘due’, or that is ‘awaiting you’ stay well clear!

No company is able to access any details regarding accounts or policies you have without your consent, so it is impossible for any company to know whether or not there is compensation to be had, let alone how much, without receiving your authorisation.

So, if they are telling lies at the beginning do you really want to put your trust in them?

Secondly, if you receive a call that makes any reference to a ‘database’, or ‘records’ again avoid.

Just as above, there are no available records and there is no database.

Finally, check the company out before you commit. Are their Terms of Engagement, or Terms & Conditions available to see on their website?

Are their charges fair and clear, with no upfront fees??

If they claim they can claim back more, or go back further than other companies they are not being truthful again so avoid.

You can see from the above that there are companies to avoid, and why the media can sometimes have a certain view of the industry, but there are definitely some excellent companies out there too who do a superb job.

It’s worth taking a little time to make sure you make the correct decision when choosing which PPI company to use.

How to make your choice

Check out the company website, make sure the address is real.

Check the Claims Management Regulator website to ensure the company is registered. Are there any customer testimonials on the website?

It may be a good idea to speak with the company, to get a feel for it.

Ask questions, a good company will always be up front regarding your chances of success, their fees and what they can do for you.

The benefits of using a PPI company

We all live in an increasingly busy and fast paced environment these days, and searching for paperwork, gathering an argument and putting it together in a legal letter, dealing with banks tactics and ensuring you are getting a fair response can seem like a time consuming exercise.

Putting your case in the hands of a good claims management company can take away the stress.

A good claims company will be able to obtain details from your lender, fight your case, escalate the complaint where it needs to go, check any offer of compensation and keep you updated throughout.

A good claim company knows the tactics used by banks as they continue to try every trick in the book to wriggle out of paying back compensation for the biggest financial scandal ever to hit the UK.

Yes, the downside is paying a fee if you get compensation but would you rather receive a majority of a large cash award, or all of nothing?!
