MBNA PPI bill rises
You may recall earlier this year I brought you news of various major banks all increasing their PPI bills to cover the cost of compensation.
Yesterday saw the turn of MBNA, the second largest credit card provider in the UK behind Barclaycard.
Increase from 2013
MBNA set aside just over £250 MILLION in 2013 and their figures for 2014 show that far from the problem going away, it is actually much bigger than they anticipated, which is a common theme across the finance sector.
2014 figures, released yesterday, show that the MBNA PPI bill increased by over £320 MILLION.
Why do banks underestimate the cost of PPI compensation
There are two main reasons why banks underestimate their own PPI bills, or top up their compensation pots bit by bit.
One reason is that if they told the city what the true estimated cost of compensating customers would be, it would seriously affect share prices as investors would get nervous about the competence of the company.
The other reason is that finance providers simply keep hoping that the end is nigh!
Banks and lenders are pinning their hopes on the estimated 7 million people who haven’t yet made a claim not coming forward, and those that do claim accept a rejection of the claim.
PPI was sold on all forms of credit, such as mortgages, loans, car finance, hire purchase agreements, credit cards and store cards.
