Making A Complaint About Canada Square Operations PPI Commission
A percentage of what you paid for your PPI premium may have been commission and some people may be due a refund of some of the PPI premiums that they have paid towards PPI. This commission would have been paid to the bank or broker of the PPI, rather than the whole amount going towards paying for your insurance.
A Supreme Court ruling made in 2014 in the case of ‘Plevin vs. Paragon Personal Finance Ltd ruled that Mrs Plevin had been sold a PPI policy but was not told that a high percentage of the premium was paid in commission. The Supreme Court ruled that this made her relationship with her lender unfair under section 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
Following the Supreme Court ruling the FCA set out guidelines on how banks should investigate and correct PPI commission and has defined high commission as being anything more than 50% of the cost of the PPI premium.
You may have been affected by PPI commission if:
You weren’t told about PPI commission
The PPI commission paid was more than 50% of your premium
Your credit agreement was covered by section 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974
Not everyone who complains about PPI will be affected by the Plevin ruling about PPI commission. There are a number of factors that can affect your entitlement to a refund of PPI commission and we will be happy to discuss them with you further if you require any further assistance.
