Consumers benefiting from online help with their PPI Claims

Feb. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Over the past few years the number of PPI Claims in the UK has increased dramatically with many people successfully claiming thousands of pounds back from their banks or lenders when they have been mis-sold payment protection insurance.

However, there are two main ways in which a consumer can approach a PPI Claim. Firstly many consumers choose to act through a ppi claims specialist who will take care of all the formalities of the claim. Companies such as http://www.hclawllp.co.uk will fully manage the claim which takes the entire time and effort burden away from the consumer. This can be beneficial to certain people especially those who have little spare time to invest in pursuing a claim. However, a lot of companies will take a fee for this service and therefore reduce the total amount which can be recovered from the claim. Some companies, such as http://www.hclawllp.co.uk, recover the costs from the other side and work on a ‘no win no fee’ basis but many consumers are often unaware of this and therefore choose to avoid PPI Claims specialists in order to fully see the benefits of their claim. One consumer said “I just feel that why should I lose out on money that rightfully belongs to me by using a specialist when I can pursue the claim myself and realise the full money myself? Of course it will take more effort but the rewards will be significantly higher.

This leads on to the other approach where consumers choose to pursue a PPI Claim individually and therefore use no specialist PPI Claim experts or any law firms. This can often be time/ effort consuming but the compensation if successful will be significantly higher as there will be no firms to pay. However, if a consumer does choose to pursue their claim online then online help and resources can often come in very handy when writing letters or competing paper work. Many websites such as http://www.hclawllp.co.uk offer a free of charge service providing resources, information and guidelines to consumers who are looking to go it alone with their claim. This would then assist the consumer in their PPI Claim without incurring a charge. Also forums often offer good advice and knowledge of specific issues which might occur within the claim and can often give advice on solutions to problems which may arise. Therefore it is safe to suggest that pursuing a PPI claim with a specialist is not as challenging as expected but often a consumer will benefit from looking into the online resources available in order to make sure their claim is as swift and painless as possible with minimum stress and effort.
