Nov. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has announced it will “vigorously contest” the British Banker’s Association’s (BBA) judicial review of the new PPI complaints handling procedures. Insisting that their proposed regulations are sensible and fair; the FSA are expecting lenders to continue processing complaints for the duration of the judicial review.

With many lenders choosing to suspend claims processing until a decision has been reached, many claimants, who have sought redress alone, look set to wait until spring 2011 before PPI claims handling returns to normal. This latest delay tactic by the BBA appears to be a reaction to the FSA’s attempt to regulate sales practices and target the mi-selling of PPI policies. Claiming that the FSA’s procedures retain “insufficient legal clarity”; the judicial review is set to determine whether these new regulations are appropriate for previously sold policies.

Committed to securing an appropriate degree of protection for consumers, the FSA has set a deadline of December 1st for banks to adopt the new guidelines. Regulations stipulate that firms must handle complaints properly and offer redress where appropriate; which they deem a fair solution for both customers and the industry as a whole. Although welcome news to many customers yet to complain; PPI Return http://www.ppireturn.co.uk is concerned that time may be running out for those wishing to retrieve their lost funds, should the review swing in favour of the BBA.

PPI Return http://www.ppireturn.co.uk is worried some customers may be waiting up to a year to have their PPI claim dealt with by the Financial Ombudsmen Service (FOS). The Company has reiterated that this temporary backlog in mis-sold PPI claims will not affect their ability to make a claim through a PPI claims specialist. The Company is urging anyone with a potential PPI claim to seek specialist advice from qualified PPI claims handlers.
