A. The vast majority of Blue Sky Claims Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) mis-selling clients had no idea that they had been sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). The banks, lenders and finance companies have been hiding the facts regarding the sale of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) and its not surprising that you have forgotten that you have been sold PPI.
At Blue Sky we will check every loan, car finance, HP, PCP and credit card to find out how many policies you were actually sold. When we find the PPI will assess whether the PPI was mis-sold and if it has we will reclaim the money back as soon as possible along with interest.
A. So far we have found that all banks have been selling Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). There maybe some obscure banks that we have not heard of who have sold a few hundred loans however all the banks on the high street and the ones you see on television have been mis-selling Payment Protection Insurance(PPI) for many many years.
A. The answer to why banks have been mis-selling for years is simple, greed.
A. Yes we are regulated by the Regulated by the Ministry of Justice in respect of regulated claims management activities (CRM23423); its registration is recorded on the website www.claimsregulation.gov.uk.
A. We are members of the Claims Standards Council and the Financial Claims Standards Council.
A. We at Blue Sky think that the banks have been mis-selling Payment Protection Insurance for at least the last 20 years. We have cases of mis-selling going back to the mid 1980's, however mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance has been going on for a whole generation.
A. We at Blue Sky are amazed that the FSA did not acted sooner however a few banks such as Alliance and Leicester have been fined upwards of £7million. The British Bankers Association tried to resist the FSA rules on PPI. In October 2010 sought a judicial review. In january 2011 the case was heard and in April 2011 the FSA won! The Banks where told they had to pay up.
A. Yes many banks have been fined by the FSA for mis-selling of payment Protection Insurance. These Include Alliance and Leicester, HSBC, HFC, Barclays, 1st Plus, Abbey, Loans.co.uk, Abbey and several more banks, brokers and finance companies have been fined by the FSA.
A. This is a complicated question and is not simple to answer. Firstly if your loan has been redeemed then you would normally have 6 years to claim back mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). This being said we have won may cases where the loan was redeemed up to 20 years ago. If the PPI was mis-sold on a credit card the same rule applies here however if the loan or credit card is still live we can run the claim for mis-selling PPI back to when the loan or card had PPI added to it.
A. I am afraid not. This is a popular misconception as PPI added to a loan only really covers you for the first 5 years of the loan. Sorry to say that for the rest of the 20 years you will be paying for the mis-sold PPI and interest that your lender has added. if it is a joint loan, cover is also not usually given to the second borrower.
A. This is a very serious issue we find on the vast bulk of PPI claims against banks, finance companies and credit card providers.
A. We are afraid that if the PPI was added to your loan then yes the lender will charge you interest on top. This could well double or triple the cost of the mis-sold Payment Protection insurance (PPI). The good news is that Blue Sky will be able to reclaim the interest back from the bank that mis-sold the Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).
A. Yes of course we will add the interest your bank has already charged you as part of the claim for mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance. (PPI)

A. We charge a very modest fee of 35% of the total benefit that you receive for the charges added to your credit and store cards.
A. The answer to this is very complicated! In brief your credit card provider is entitled to charge you a fee for being late making a payment or going over your limit. This fee needs to be an accurate reflection of the cost to the bank. What the banks have been doing is charging £12 to £35 which is far more than it should really cost. To this end we are able to recover all of the fees that they have charged you plus the interest that they added on top.

For example our debt councillors could negotiate lower payments every month and reduce your interest payments to 0. Our debt councillors could also help reduce the amount of creditor calls that you are getting every day and we can put a halt to visiting Bailiffs.
A. Yes of course we can. In fact around 50% of all the work we do is reclaiming back unfair charges unlawfully added to credit cards and store cards past and present.

A. No matter what you do do not cash the cheque as it unlikely to be for the correct amount. Credit card providers trick our clients into accepting a smaller cheque and then can often avoid paying the full amount for your claim.
