Unsolicited mail and other unwelcome marketing ploys
The payment protection insurance (PPI) debacle has created an
industry all of its own. As the customer fights back against the
bank or lender that not only mis-sold them PPI but also unfairly
overcharged them for it, there is another thorn in the consumer's
side - the unsolicited and rather persistent texts, mail, phone
calls and emails that have plagued everyone over the PPI
mis-selling saga.
Unsolicited marketing ploys - how do you know which are genuine
and which are not?
In all honesty, once you have the information then you will know
what a marketing ploy is and which ones are nonsense.
Nonsense - the texts, letters, email and phone calls from claims
management companies who can tell you BEFORE you have given them
information that you are entitled to a certain amount of
compensation.
Everyone has received at least one unsolicited text that will
say something along the lines of...
"you are entitled to £2,750 in PPI compensation" or "our records
show that..."
Do Not Be Drawn In!
No company - claims management or otherwise - are able to obtain
your financial information from you bank, building society or any
other financial institution. No UK bank or company would sell this
kind of information as this would illegal.
These texts etc. draw in people as the amount specified is
usually made to realistic or some claims management companies have
used the average PPI payout figure as the amount owing to a
customer.
Use Payment Protection Scotland
How much PPI compensation is owed to you is calculated once we
know the full facts and details of your account(s).
Many claims management firms also use unrealistic claims as part
of their marketing strategy. A common claim that many make is that
as a specialist firm, they can secure not only a successful outcome
but also a quick resolution to your claim - in some cases,
suggesting that they can resolve your claim quicker than you could,
should you choose to make a PPI claim yourself.
No matter who submits your PPI compensation claim - whether it
is you or a specialist claims management company - it will be dealt
with in chronological order.
Use Payment Protection Scotland
We do have a high success rate and that is because we take time
at the start of the PPI compensation process to talk through any
potential case with a customer. Firstly, we make sure that you have
PPI on your account and then we set about creating your letter of
complaint which focuses on the reasons why you were mis-sold
PPI.
No claims management company can guarantee a successful
resolution to your PPi compensation claim but, with a reputable
company on your side - like Payment Protection
Scotland - you can be confident your claim is in safe
hands.
