MIS SOLD PPI aka PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE

Which? said people were wasting their money buying any form of PPI policy. "Credit card PPI is a modern day snake oil - it's a useless product, expensive and poorly designed," said Doug Taylor of Which? "In this time of economic uncertainty, people are effectively throwing away £970 million each year, when they should be encouraged to seek independent financial advice about protecting their finances as a whole," he added.

This was rejected by the British Bankers Association (BBA), who said the insurance was a valuable "plan B". "Taking out PPI is not a condition for agreeing to provide the borrowing facility and people are free to shop around if they want to," a BBA spokesperson said.

THE COMPETITION COMMISSIONER JOINS IN

The Competition Commission has criticised the Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) market after a flood of complaints of mis selling by consumers. It found that it is highly profitable for the seller and there is little if any competition between providers. The report also found that there is little scope for customers to search for alternatives and switch products. Separately, the Financial Services Authority is taking action against unfair practices by PPI providers.
