Lloyds PBA Compensation Fund Gets First Money
On Friday we learned that the Lloyds PPI provision was increased to £14.1bn, yet if you look a little closer there was something else that was also interesting to see.
Packaged Bank Account (PBA) claims are fast becoming another scandal akin to the PPI mis-selling sage.
Whilst most banks are trying to brush this under the carpet, they are quietly setting aside millions in compensation for the ever increasing number of complaints they are receiving.
Lloyds first addition
The Lloyds Banking Group put aside it’s first amount specifically for this relatively new scandal, a cool £175m.
This £175m covers Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland as these banks form part of the Lloyds Banking Group.
Whilst this may currently be nowhere near the scale of PPI currently it has all the hallmarks of following the same path.
This Lloyds PBA Compensation takes the overall amount set aside by banks to £713m, and we fully expect this to surpass £1bn before the end of the year.
About PBAs & Our Service
There are approximately 10 million PBA’s that remain active today, and with potentially millions more that have been closed.
Packaged Bank Accounts attract a regular monthly fee, generally between £5 – £30, in exchange for various products such as mobile, travel and breakdown insurance, to name a few.
Much like PPI, it appears banks have abused their position to mis-sale these accounts in order to generate obscene profits at the expense of their customers.
