Citizens Advice responds to FCA PPI deadline

2 Awst 2016

The Financial Conduct Authority has today indicated it wants to set a June 2019 deadline for people to make claims over mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI).

Citizens Advice, which launched a super-complaint into PPI mis-selling back in 2005, said it supports a deadline. The charity helped people with 4,000 PPI issues in the last year.

Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said:

“A deadline on raising PPI mis-selling claims will help to bring finality to this ongoing scandal.

“But we are concerned consumers will be inundated by cold calls from claims management companies who charge up to 40% of what victims get in compensation, despite people being able to make these claims for free.

“It’s crucial any deadline is backed up by free and independent advice so people can get all the help they need to make a claim. The claims management regulator should implement its proposals to cap the fees that companies can charge consumers."
