Will claiming compensation for mis-sold PPI be one of
them?
It is a tradition that stretches back thousands of years but
making New Year resolutions was something that Babylonians made
some 4,000 years ago. Their new year however, started in March with
the end of winter and the coming of new life and food.
It is a tradition commonly associated with the Western
hemisphere, less so in the east but still, it is a custom that we
have now come to view as fun. For many people, after the gluttony
of the festive season, inevitably one resolution tends to be around
food and making wiser choices.
However, back in Babylonian times, resolutions were more about
external events that could, to a certain extent, be controlled by
the people. Resolutions and promises were made to the king that
meant that as a race of people, their food supply was kept fresh
and nature, as they saw it, was kept vibrant and alive.
Thus, it may be that to tend to fields, more people were needed
and thus it was resolved that more people would do so.
Today, many of the resolutions that we hear of are internal to
our own well-being. They affect us, and how we live our lives.
Do they all resolutions fail?
There is a lot of frivolity around modern-day New year
resolutions and thus, as soon as we have uttered that no chocolate
will pass our lips that we dive into the sweet tin.
There are however, some resolutions that we can stick to and one
is to take a hard look at whether PPI compensation could be due to
us.
Every claim is different
There has been a blanket response, if you like, to the PPI
mis-selling crisis. So much so that some people feel that they are
not entitled to claim or that it is too good to be true - and that
stuff like this happens to everyone else.
It also, in some cases, can take time, effort and research to
make a claim for mis-sold compensation. Thus, making a PPI claim a
New Year resolution is a step in the right direction for many
people:
- Take time to dig out as much of the old paperwork relating to
accounts as you can and check them for any kind of insurance policy
that promises to make payments in the event that you are unable to
do so.
- Research whether you have a claim by calling PPI Scotland and
seeking advice from one of the leading reputable claim management
companies.
- If you have PPI, lodge your complaint for compensation and
enjoy the fruits of your labour in 2016.
