UK Credit card companies have been selling Credit Card Payment Protection Insurance with their Credit Cards for many years and it has been responsible for huge profits for them.
The policies were intended to provide protection for the card holder in the event that they could not make their monthly payment due to an accident, sickness or unemployment. The premium for credit card PPI is calculated as a percentage of the monthly outstanding balance.
The cost of payment protection can become very expensive as outstanding balances increase and it was found that in up to 85% of cases, due to flawed sales processes, cover was not always suitable for the card holder's personal situation. Many reasons have been highlighted to show that they never actually fitted the needs of individual customers and the result being thousands of declined claims due to un-eligibility that should have been exposed at the point of sale.
Finding out if you can reclaim credit card PPI is fairly straight forward with our PPI Calculator and claiming back credit card payment protection refunds couldn't be easier with the PPI Reclaims experts at CC4U.
Reclaiming PPI on credit cards is not just a matter of getting back a refund of your premiums paid, but you can also claim compensation in interest for the whole period charged at the statutory interest rate of 8%.
We provide a No Win No Fee Guarantee for all credit card PPI reclaims, which provides our clients with the peace of mind in knowing that they can find out if they have any eligible claims without risk & once your claim/s have been validated, the process to finalising a successful compensation claim usually takes 8 – 12 weeks.
If you decide to use our services for claiming back PPI on credit cards that you have or have held in the last 10 years, then you need to know a little about what you can expect during your application to claim back PPI on credit cards:
Firstly, if your credit card company upholds your claim, then we will check the amount of the refund offered and advise you if it is correct & if you should accept it.
After this the process is:
- An acceptance of offer form will be sent to you by your credit card provider that you will need to sign and return accepting the offer.
- Once you have signed & returned the acceptance from the card provider, they will notify us of when they will make your credit card PPI refund.
- Upon confirmation that you have been paid your refund, if the company has not covered our fees for dealing with your claim for you, then we will invoice you for our fee for payment.
Secondly, if your credit card lender does not uphold application for reclaiming PPI on credit cards, then we follow a different procedure as follows:
- As a first step we will check with your credit card company that this is their final response.
- Upon confirmation that we have their final response, we will then send you the Financial Ombudsman's Payment Protection Insurance Questionnaire that we will have completed for you and request that you sign and return it to us.
- Having received these forms back from you, we will start the process of making a formal application for claiming back PPI on credit cards through the Financial Ombudsman. Records indicate that our success rate for FOS referrals is currently higher than 80% for credit card PPI compensation claims that are correctly submitted and have previously been rejected by the card providers themselves, which is one of the reasons that our clients recommend our services to their families and friends.
In the event that the FOS do not uphold your claim, we will reconsider your claim on your behalf and may appeal for reconsideration – Of the small number of cases that are not successful, you can rest assured that if you do not receive a refund, we WILL NOT make any charge at all to you for using our services.
