£15 BILLION PPI compensation paid out

The bank regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) releases monthly updates on how much PPI compensation has been paid back since January 2011. The figure as of March 2014 stood at £14.7 BILLION. We can safely assume then that at the time of writing this the bill is now sitting comfortably above £15 BILLION. The big question is how much PPI has yet to be claimed.

The average amount the banks are having to cough up each month since 2011 has been a colossal £377 MILLION.

There are 24 lenders that make up over 95% of the figure, with the main banks such as Lloyds, Halifax, RBS, Natwest, Barclays, HSBC and Santander being the major cuplrits.

£25 BILLION expected final bill

It’s widely anticipated that the final bill to the banks for the biggest financial scandal will be £25 BILLION so there is still a long way to go before we get to what the banks believe will be the final bill. However, the banks are reliant upon a huge number of people, possibly millions, not making a claim. How do we know this?

What the bill could be, and should be

The Financial Ombudsman Service deals with complaints against lenders where an agreeable solution cannot be found between the lender and the customer. It estimates that a huge £50 BILLION worth of PPI policies have been sold across 34 MILLION policies. You can see from this that the banks expect almost half of all possible claimants not to make a claim.

Don’t let the banks get away with it
