Report Shows Huge Number Of Complaints Made to Banks. Only Half Of PPI Claims Are Successful

Aug. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Staggering statistics have just been released by The Telegraph revealing that leading high street banks and financial institutions receive daily complaints numbering in the thousands.
In the six months to June, Lloyds TSB Group received 288,717, equivalent to 1,850 daily. Most of the complaints related to banking issues – overdrafts and overdraft charges but more than 41,000 related to complaints about the way the group sold insurance products, primarily mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI). Where customers complained – 54% were successful in their claims for mis-sold PPI.
If this figure is typical for the banking industry as whole, then there are potentially 46% of claimants having their claims rejected. This is something that PPI Return http://www.ppireturn.co.uk is acutely aware of. The PPI claim specialist firm has experienced significant growth in enquiries from disgruntled financial consumers who receive blanket rejections or token “goodwill” gestures from their banks.
Recent changes in the way banks handle PPI mis-selling claims may mean that processing time may be quickened and the percentage of individuals making successful claims may rise. However, the financial sector is historically slow at reacting to change.
