Which? comments a day before PPI deadline

Adam French, Which? Consumer Rights Expert, said:

“If you had any kind of credit product, such as a consumer loan, store card, credit card or mortgage up until 2006, when the regulator began imposing fines for PPI mis-selling, you could have been mis-sold PPI. With the PPI deadline just hours away this is the final chance for anyone who thinks they may have been mis-sold to make a claim.

“All claims must be submitted by midnight on August 29th, so we are encouraging anyone who thinks they may have had PPI to submit one now. There are free, easy-to-use tools available online or you can submit a claim directly to your bank – it is now or never.”
