In 2006 Mrs Plevin was sold a Payment Protection Policy (also known as PPI) to cover her secured loan from Paragon Personal Finance Ltd. She was not informed that over 71% of her PPI premium payment was commission paid to the lender.
After finding out, Mrs Plevin took her claim to Court. Shed alleged that her relationship with Paragon was unfair due to the non-disclosure of commission and the percentage of the PPI premiums that was commission.
Mrs Plevin argued that if she had known the commission was so high, she might not have bought the policy in the first instance.
The Supreme Court ruled that failure by the Lender to disclose to Mrs Plevin the large commissions payable out of her PPI premiums created an unfair relationship, between her and the Lender.
Mrs Plevin was awarded compensation for this.
You may be eligible to make a claim if you took out credit for the PPI after 6th April 2007 or, if you took out credit for the PPI before this but continue to pay it after 6th April 2008?
