PPI with loan sales 'to be delayed'

PPI with loan sales 'to be delayed'

Published: 13 November 2008

The sale of payment protection insurance (PPI) in conjunction with loans, such as secured or unsecured loans, may be delayed, it has been widely reported.

According to the Competition Commission, PPI should no longer be sold to a customer until 14 days or more after they have secured a loan.

PPI offers cover to individuals in the event of sickness, unemployment or an accident, however the sales tactics of lenders have since been investigated by the Office of Fair Trading and the Financial Services Authority.

It is hoped the 14-day ban will allow the consumer the opportunity to explore other insurance providers and policies.

However, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has claimed that with a 69 per cent increase in unemployment figures, many individuals are now relying on PPI and would struggle if the scheme was introduced.

Nick Starling, the ABI's director of general insurance and health, said: "By effectively denying consumers PPI in the very economic climate in which they need it most, the Competition Commission has got this completely wrong."

Meanwhile, the governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King has once again hinted that the UK is in for a deep and prolonged recession.
