The ever increasing PPI bill

How many times have you heard that the PPI saga is coming to an end?

So called experts have been saying it and getting it wrong for years.

Today we hear that the Lloyds Banking Group have set aside a further £1bn to cover PPI compensation costs that have now soared to £17.7bn.

In July Barclays added a further £400m to their pot, thus increasing their overall cost to almost £8bn.

The much troubled RBS added £450m in August to take their bill beyond £5.5bn

The total bill for the disgraced industry now creeps closer to our estimated final bill of £42.5bn, it now standing at £38.95bn.

‘Experts’ getting it wrong

We would never suggest that the so called experts are pressured by banks to put out a message that the scandal is drawing to a close but it is difficult to understand how they continue to get it wrong.

Banks don’t wish to alarm shareholders and the markets by stating what they truly believe will be the final cost which is the reason why they drip feed additional money to the compensation fund.

It’s blatantly obvious this has happened for years yet the ‘experts’ fall for it every single time the banking industry suggests we’re close to the end.

The final cost

We’ve said for some years now that we expect a final bill to reach around the £42.5bn mark.

It doesn’t take a mathematical genius to work out that the banks original claims of a final bill of £25bn was simply fanciful.

What does appear to be the case is that we may have even underestimated the final cost ourselves, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the £42.5bn surpassed within twelve months.

Who is left to claim?

Put simply, there are millions of people out there who are oblivious they may have a valid claim for compensation.

Financial providers used various disgraceful tactics in order to add PPI onto all sorts of credit agreements.

Perhaps one of the most common tactics was the add the product without the knowledge of the customer, hence why these people have not yet stepped forward.
