You will identify a Missold PPI if you are sold with a financial product containing the policy without your awareness and its cost is automatically added to your monthly dues for the loan or card repayment.
Another ground for reclaiming missold PPI is that you were not informed that the insurance is an optional choice when taking a loan or credit card.
Or if you were a retired, an unemployed or a self-employed consumer who at the time when you applied for a loan or card and still you were sold with an insurance despite stating your financial status.

If the FSA finds that a financial company operates in this unprofessional manner, it issues several fines along with other penalties which the offending lender should pay.
This way, consumers are provided with guts to claim back and repossess what they have paid off unnecessarily.
