Mis-sold Ppi
I can remember going to my bank in the late 1990s to enquire about a loan for a new car. I`d fell in love with this slinky, silver sports car and being a single male at the time, with plenty of disposable income, I thought I`d treat myself to this flashy kind of motor. The bank eventually approved my loan but I was forced into taking out payment protection insurance at the same time. I`m not sure why I took it out to be honest. I think I felt pressured into taking out the policy because the person whom I spoke at the bank said it strengthen my initial loan application if PPI was in place. Nothing was explained to me about the PPI and how it would cover sickness payments or payments for the loan if I was made redundant. In fact, I think I was Mis-sold Ppi by the bank and had it not been so long ago I would put a claim in against the bank in question. Over the years countless customers have been Mis-sold Ppi policies through the banks. Huge profits could be made out of PPIs so you can see why banks would push them onto their customers. Today people are fighting back. Anyone who thinks they might have been Mis-sold Ppi polices in the past can speak to claims management firms who will take their case on and try to recover as many payments as possible.

Hurricane Katrina has affected the insurance industry dramatically. At a recent conference, several industry leaders discussed trends in the market, recruitment of new agents, the devastating effects of Katrina, and the insurance industry`s duties to policyholders in the aftermath of the hurricane. The long and short term effects of Katrina was the focus of the panel, led by CEOs of major insurers, which determined that the insurance industry must stand behind policyholders, especially those affected by Hurricane Katrina. There was agreement between most major insurance companies that the suspension of billing and cancellations was the top priority, along with paying claims promptly and fairly to those in devastated regions.

The various insurance associations, both state and national, have created a fund to help industry colleagues affected by Katrina recover from the losses they have suffered. The fund will also benefit the families of agents and brokers directly affected by the hurricane. Hurricane Katrina has devastated not only human life and property, but also the economic stability of the coastal region. Major insurance companies have suffered devastating losses as well as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The insurance industry estimates that 15 to 25 billion dollars in losses could be the price of insured losses due to the hurricane.
