				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>Lloyds makes extra £375m provision for PPI compensation</strong>

Lloyds Banking Group has reported falling profits and set aside an extra £375m to pay for payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation.

Pre-tax profit in the first quarter of 2012 was £288m, compared with a £3.5bn loss in the same period last year.

Lloyds&#8217; boss said it &#8220;reflected the subdued UK economic environment&#8221;.

Lloyds, which is 40%-owned by the government, said the extra PPI provisions were down to &#8220;the increase in the volume of complaints&#8221;.

Last week Barclays also increased its provision for PPI compensation, setting aside an extra £300m.

PPI is supposed to cover borrowers&#8217; loan repayments if they fall ill, die, or lose their jobs. But it became highly controversial and there have been years of campaigning by consumer groups against the widespread mis-selling of the policies.

Lloyds has now set aside £3.6bn to cover compensation payments.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Billions of bank customers could be entitled to compensation from high street lenders after being the unwitting victims of the nationwide PPI scandal, reports the Daily Express.

The Financial Ombudsman Service has ordered banks and credit providers to get in touch with their customers to alert them to the fact that they may be owed refunds in excess of £2,500.

The banks have set aside as much as £7.6 billion to cover the costs of the compensation, and yet so far claims totalling only £1.9 billion have been made.

PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) is sold alongside many different sorts of credit agreement – including personal loans and mortgages – to ensure that the debtor does not default on their loan if they find themselves unable to meet them through infirmity, illness or unemployment.

High numbers of customers, however, were mis-sold the insurance. Some customers were never eligible to apply for it in the first place (such as the over-65s and the self-employed), while others were unfairly coerced into purchasing it via strong-armed sales tactics. In extreme cases, some customers didn’t realise they had bought it at all!

Shane Craig, the managing director of Paymentcare.co.uk, told the paper: “This is a welcome window of opportunity for consumers – there is clearly a lot more to come out in the wash.

“But we would like to think that there is still a place for this important cover when it is sold correctly to workers whose circumstances are such that back up cover to help pay the mortgage or simply get by day to day if they lose their jobs or get ill is crucial.”

The FSA has ordered the banks to write their correspondence to customers in a concise manner, in plain English and without recourse to jargon. It should also make customers fully aware that they have six years from the date of purchasing the policy in which to make their complaint, or three years from when they were aware they had a legitimate complaint.

Managing director, Martin Wheatley said the guidance marks a “key moment in the story of PPI”.

As many as 130,000 PPI cases are expected to be settled this year, following a landmark judicial review that allows customers to claim for PPI that was mis-sold retrospectively.<div id="wpcr_respond_1"></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Consumers should check whether they have been mis-sold payment protection insurance, as they could be entitled to claim for a refund.

The number of mis-selling complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) now represents 38 per cent of their total workload, <em>BBC News</em> reports, since widespread publicity has “alerted many customers to the possibility of gaining compensation.”

However, many more people could still be ignorant of the fact that they have been sold PPI unnecessarily when applying for mortgages, loans or credit cards, so it’s worth investigating.

According to <em>UK Net Guide</em>, consumers may have been mis-sold PPI as part of an elaborate and high-pressure sales pitch. Others may have been led to believe that taking out a plan would increase their chances of securing credit.

There are also cases reported where individuals bought PPI without a thorough understanding of the product or worse, without even knowing.

In all of these cases, individuals could be entitled to reclaim any charges and monies paid. The chances for a positive outcome, via a reputable claims firm, are high.

To demonstrate, a spokesman for the FOS said: “The percentage of PPI complaints we upheld in favour of the consumer increased to 92 per cent.”<div id="wpcr_respond_1"></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[August 2011

Compensation for mis-sold PPI reached a total of £215 million in the first half of 2011, reports the BBC.

The payments were made by sixteen anonymous firms and represented over 90 per cent of complaints made between January and June of last year.

This follows an increase in activity surrounding PPI following the failure of a judicial review, brought by the banks in April, as a challenge to the compensation rules.

In the two months immediately following the ruling, £102m was paid out.

Since then High Street banks have set aside huge sums to meet the inevitable demand for refunds. Lloyds tips the scales at £3.2 billion, while Barclays is setting aside £1bn, RBS £850m and HSBC £269m.

The Financial Ombudsman said it had received more than a quarter of a million complaints and had found in favour of the claimant in three quarters of cases.

PPI is meant to cover a debtor’s loan repayments if they are unable to make them through illness or unemployment, but many banks forced customers to buy policies even if they were not suitable for the cover.

FSA spokeswoman Margaret Cole told the BBC that “The treatment of PPI complainants has left an indelible stain on the financial industry’s record.

“We remain 100% committed to ensuring that where consumers were mis-sold PPI they will receive the appropriate redress from firms, and we are monitoring firms’ progress to ensure this is done properly.”<div id="wpcr_respond_1"></div>]]></content:encoded>
