Plevin PPI Claim Process

Plevin PPI Explained

Following the PPI deadline in August 2019 for making a Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) Claim directly with a business, many people have been talking about ‘Plevin PPI' or PPI 2 and how it could affect them.

Here we explain what is a Plevin PPI claim, how it differs from a Mis-sold PPI Claim, and what the eligibility criteria is to make a Claim under the Plevin ruling.

So, What is Plevin?

Plevin refers to a Supreme Court case from 2014. Mrs Plevin was sold a PPI policy to cover her secured Loan from Paragon Personal Finance Ltd. Mrs Plevin became aware that 71.8% of the premiums she had paid under her PPI policy were actually a commission payment to her Lender and she alleged that this was unfair. The Supreme Court agreed with Mrs Plevin, and ruled that the relationship was unfair due to the following:

• Not disclosing the commission payment; and
• The percentage of premium that was paid as commission.

What does this mean for others who may have had the same issue?

Post judgement of the Plevin case, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) ruled that any amount of commission from PPI policies of over 50 per cent was mis-selling, and that claimants can receive a refund for any amount of compensation over the 50 per cent threshold.

It has been widely reported that, at the time the PPI policies were sold, Lenders were charging a high level of commission, and according to the Regulator the average commission was said to be 67 per cent.

Please note : A 'Plevin' based PPI claim requires a claim which invariably requires the commencement of court proceedings against your Lender.

What's the difference between a Mis-sold PPI & a 'Plevin' based PPI claim?

The basis on which the each of the claims is made are quite different. A Mis-sold PPI claim looks into whether the PPI policy was suitable and circumstances under which it was sold, whereas a Plevin claim examines whether the Lender failed to disclose the high-level of commission they earned from the PPI premiums, rendering the relationship unfair.

Can I make a 'Plevin' PPI Claim after the Deadline?

Yes  you can, as Plevin PPI Claims are not subject to a deadline. This is because any claims based on the Plevin ruling are from a completely different area of law, namely the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

What is the Eligibility Criteria to Make a Plevin Claim?

You may be eligible to make a Plevin PPI Claim if:

• You have not previously complained about Mis-sold PPI
• Your PPI policy must have been sold before 6 April 2007 and open after 6 April 2008, or sold after 6 April 2007 (whether or not it was still open after 6 April 2008);
• You had your PPI Claim rejected  ;or
  were only refunded for the ‘Plevin only’ part of your PPI also known as a ‘tipping point offer’.
