PPI stands for Payment Protection Insurance. This insurance may have been attached to credit agreements like loans, mortgages, hire purchase agreements, credit cards or store cards.
It was designed to cover you in the event that you’re unable to work because of sickness, redundancy or an accident. Unfortunately, Payment Protection Insurance was often mis-sold by banks and financial providers. This means that you could be entitled to a refund or compensation.
The banks and lenders often mis-sold PPI by adding it to policies without the customer being informed. They also mis-sold payment protection insurance by wrongly telling customers that they must have it (whether they wanted it or not). As a result, many people are unaware that they have been paying for it.

A PPI refund is when payment protection insurance (PPI) is paid back to the customer after being mis-sold.
PPI policies were often mis-sold by banks and lenders as part of the deal when the customer took out credit with them, such as through loans, mortgages and credit cards. It was designed to cover payments in the event of accident, sickness or redundancy but was often added without the customer’s knowledge. This means that you could be entitled to a refund or compensation. See our video for more information on what a PPI Refund is and if you are eligible to make a claim.
If you’re wondering ‘Have I got PPI?’, then you are not alone. If you have had a mortgage, credit card, store card, loan or hire purchase agreement from as early as the 1980s then you could have PPI and not know it. PPI was mis-sold to many customers using numerous different tactics, and often without them knowing. This has left many people unsure as to whether they have purchased it or not. Luckily, we can quickly establish whether you were sold PPI. See our video for more information.
So, just how are PPI funds calculated? Our calculations are broken down into three main parts. Part 1 is assessing how much you paid in premiums, part 2 is determining the associated interest and charges and part 3 involves compensatory interest (8% interest based on parts 1 & 2). We also have a PPI calculator that will give you an idea of how much you may be entitled to. See our video for more information on how PPI funds are calculated.
The PPI claim process depends on certain factors, but generally the process and timeframes are as follows:
There is no limit as to how far back you can claim PPI. Most banks and financial providers are legally obliged to retain records for 6 years after an agreement has closed. However, some retain their records for a lot longer in their archives. See our video for more information.
How much PPI you will get back depends on several different factors, such as how much you paid towards the PPI policy in the first place, how much you borrowed, what the interest rate was on the financial agreement and the dates you made payments. View our video to discover what other factors affect how much PPI you can receive.
