The worst case of misselling though is those that have been sold to clients that do not have a chance of making a claim. Remember, you cannot claim against your PPI policy if:

• You do not have a job at the time you took your payment protection insurance. No matter whether you were left unemployed, retired, or you have your own business, there is no chance for you to make a valid claim.
• You had a medical condition that kept you off your work when you took your PPI. However, you should have been told by your lender that the coverage is unsuitable for your condition. If you weren’t told about it though, then it is possible for you to claim your insurance.

On the other hand, you can make a claim when you took your PPI under the following conditions:

• The PPI that was sold to you was a single premium policy. You can have a refund by cancelling your insurance but if you paid the loan or canceled early, you are eligible for a refund.
• If you were offered a refund amount that is only a small fraction of the total money you paid, you can make a claim for a more favorable refund. Likewise, if you canceled your coverage and the loan was modified to be less favorable to you, you can also make a claim.
• If there was no explanation on the total cost of the PPI or if your lender only told you the cost of the loan with the coverage already attached, then you are eligible to file a PPI reclaim.
• If your lender told you that payment protection insurance is compulsory. Banks and other lending institutions can insist that you get the coverage but they cannot force you to take it from them. The fact i,s it is cheaper to get it from an independent provider than from your lender.
• If the other essential features of your loan were not explained to you, such as cancelation of coverage or essential policy exclusions, you can claim your insurance premium. You should also consider your age when you took your coverage. Most of the policies have a maximum age limit of 65 or 70. If you are older than these limits when you were sold your PPI, you can make PPI claims.
• If the lender that sold you your coverage has already been acted on by the Financial Services Authority, you have a very high chance of making a claim. You can take a look at these firms on the FSA website.
• When you already have coverage like a company redundancy or sickness package or income protection at the time you were sold your PPI and they did not inquire about it, you are eligible for a claim.
• If you took a long-term loan and you bought PPI coverage for it, there is the possibility that the insurance will spend itself before your loan is paid in full. Remember that most policies only go for five years so if your loan term is longer than this period, your lender should tell it to you. If they did not, you are eligible to make a claim.
