‘The UK’s biggest mis-selling scandal’ – Which? response to additional provision the banks have set aside for PPI claims

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said:

“PPI is the UK’s biggest mis-selling scandal, with now more than £23 billion set aside by the banks. 

“Banks need to make it as easy as possible for people to claim back the money they’re entitled to so they’re not encouraged to use unscrupulous claims management companies.”

Notes to editors:

The total amount set aside by all banks for PPI compensation is now £23.75 billion, making it by far the UK’s biggest mis-selling scandal.
