The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has revealed new plans to extend the deadline to consumers who have made a complaint about surrounding the mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) policies.
The financial world has suffered heavy losses over the last few years as we all know through the global economic downturn. And just as the UK banks thought it couldn’t get much worse, thousands upon thousands of the UK population started to get wise about a new scandal, commonly known as Payment Protection insurance (PPI).
PPI claims have cost the payment protection insurance industry millions of pounds over recent years. But why are people reclaiming the money they have spent on such policies in the first place?
In January 2005 the sale of PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) policies have been regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority). The rules set by the FSA are very clear about what firms and advisers selling PPI policies should do at the time the policy is sold to the consumer. Any breach of these rules can see the policy labeled as what is now commonly known as ‘mis sold’ or ‘mis selling’ a policy.
Mis-sold PPI has been the centre of a lot of negative media coverage over recent years. The widespread mis-selling of the payment protection insurance policies has led thousands of people to reclaim PPI. But with all the confusion surrounding the policies, how do you even know if yours was mis-sold?

An American man filled in the appropriate accident report form after suffering a traumatic accident at work. According to the claims adjuster, “trying to do the job alone” was not a detailed enough description of how the accident occurred. The man proceeded to elaborate and recall how his injuries transpired:
A bodily injury claim is only legitimate once there’s negligence or injury inflicted on you by another. This claim is usually lined by the individual that caused the injury that is, if they carry insurance. But, if they don’t, you’ve got to do this on your own. Now, the method of obtaining this claim could be a meticulous and tedious process. So, how does one avoid getting yourself during a standstill from obtaining that claim?
As far as the UK is concerned, the accident claims industry happens to be worth approximately 6 billion every year. Quite a reasonable percentage of this amount is built on the basis of workplace accident claims. The question arises that why these compensatory claims over accidents that take place or occur at work are made, and if the employee is actually the defaulter or not.
