What is a Plevin PPI Claim?
Historically, when Lenders sold PPI they failed to disclose the commission(s) they received, which was taken out of the PPI premiums paid by consumers. So whilst consumers may have thought the premiums were for their cover, some of it was actually commission(s) paid to the Lenders for the sale of the PPI policy(ies). A Lender’s failure to disclose commission(s) may have created an unfair relationship with the consumer. Following a Court ruling, commonly known as the Plevin ruling, if this applies to you, this money can be claimed back and that’s where we can help.

Is there anything else I should know?
You do not need to use a claims management company to assess your eligibility for a Plevin PPI Claim(s). You are free to seek advice elsewhere and are able to proceed with your Claim(s) directly through an alternate solicitor.
A Plevin PPI Claim differs from a financial mis-selling Claim as the basis of the Claim is the potential unfair relationship created by the Lender’s failure to disclose commission. However, as a Plevin PPI Claim is made in respect of the sale of a PPI policy, it is affected by the PPI Deadline. Currently, the only way to make a Plevin PPI Claim(s) is through a litigated Claims process, which may involve TCG Legal making a Court Claim(s) against your Lender(s) on your behalf.
