Aqua credit card Plevin PPI Claim

Aqua credit card Plevin PPI Claim

IT'S NOT THE END OF THE PPI CLAIMS

PPI has been the biggest financial mis-selling scandal in the world, in which a staggering £38 billion was given back to consumers for mis-sold PPI in compensation by banks & finance providers before the 2019 PPI deadline. However, even after this the PPI scandal is far from over!

The good news is that you can still make new PPI Claims under a new ruling but this time its for undisclosed high commission.  This type of PPI claim is separate to the PPI redress scheme that ended in 2019 and is based on the amount of commission you were charged on your PPI policy.

Potter v Canada Square - Latest ruling April 2021

The case of Canada Square Operations Limited v Beverley Potter [2020] brought a degree of clarity to the issue of limitation points in Plevin Litigation. This judgment was welcomed by law firms, claims management companies and claimants alike as it strengthened the claimants’ argument that these claims should not have a limitation period applied to them due to the concealment of PPI commission levels. This meant that claims are no longer confined to a six-year limitation period from when your credit card/loan/mortgage or other finance ended.

Potter v Canada Square Ruling - April 2021

Who Are Aqua?

Aqua is a specialist lender for people who do not have a good credit rating.

Customers who had a Aqua credit card were often also sold a PPI policy with them. If you were one of around 20 million people who took out a credit cards with PPI between 1988 and 2011, you could still be eligible to reclaim PPI commission charged on your policy premium.

Generally, credit card providers like Aqua made a profit on shoppers who failed to pay off the balance on the card each month, where any outstanding balances would attract interest charges.

PPI were often added on credit cards and with the average commission charged at 67%,  you may also have been charged a high level of commission on your PPI premium(s). If this wasn't disclosed you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation under a ruling known as the 'Plevin' ruling as this constitutes an unfair relationship. However before making any claim for commission, it is important to find out the level of commission you were charged on your PPI policy premium(s).

Did you have PPI with your Aqua Credit Card?

A recent ruling means simply being sold PPI means you're potentially a victim of a mis-selling. Although the PPI deadline has now passed you could still claim Aqua Credit Card Plevin PPI compensation. Find out how below.

Aqua were one of the many financial firms involved with the mis-selling of PPI. But with the Plevin ruling and subsequent PPI commission related court cases coming to light, many people who initially thought they were not eligible for a Plevin claim could now be eligible to reclaim. This is why so many of Aqua Credit Card UK customers are now checking whether they are still owed any PPI compensation from them.

What is Plevin PPI?

Plevin refers to a Supreme Court case from November 2014 where Mrs Susan Plevin brought a case against Paragon Personal Finance Ltd regarding her PPI policy. The claim was centred around the commission charges on a PPI policy that Mrs Susan Plevin was sold to cover a secured loan from Paragon.

Mrs Plevin later discovered that in small print of the terms and conditions of the PPI policy that a whopping 71.8% of her premium was the amount of commission she was charged by the lender. She alleged that this was unfair and unclear and took Paragon to court and the case went up to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court agreed with Mrs Plevin and her lawyers, and determined that the sale of the PPI policy was unfair because of the following reasons:

  1. The commission payment was not disclosed;
  2. The high percentage of the PPI premium that was paid as commission.

This decision set precedent for a new category of PPI claims, and opened the floodgates against banks and other finance firms who had sold PPI to their customers.

How is Plevin different to mis-sold PPI?

Originally the PPI scandal was focused on the mis-selling of PPI and whether the policy was suitable or not at the point of sale. however a Plevin PPI claim's focus is on whether Aqua took a high-level commission from your PPI premium without telling you about it. If  the commission was hidden, or the commission was unfairly high, then this is deemed to be an unfair relationship between the lender and borrower and is eligible for compensation claim.

Plevin claims are based on a completely different area of law, namely the Consumer Credit Act 1974, so they are not subject to the FCA's PPI deadline, hence claims are still being processed today.

Claiming under the Plevin ruling

You could be eligible to make a claim if:

  • Your PPI policy was open after 6 April 2007;
  • You have not previously complained about Mis-sold PPI to Aqua;
  • Your PPI Claim was previously rejected by Aqua;
  • Aqua only refunded you for the “Plevin only” part of your PPI (also known as a “tipping point offer”)
    The Plevin ruling means that if more than 50% of your PPI’s cost went to hidden commission to the lender, or the lender and the broker combined, and it was not sufficiently explained to you, you are due compensation.

Latest PPI Commission Claim Ruling

Potter has the potential to impact on all types of credit claims!

A new PPI court ruling in April 2021 revealed how the banks used YOUR MONEY to earn hefty commissions for themselves.

Strangely, they forgot to mention the secret commissions they kept when the original PPI rulings came out.

Now the courts have said that any commission they have earned by selling PPI policies is potentially YOURS.

This ruling saw the complainant awarded £7,953.53 in compensation for the commission alone. This includes fees and interest that accrued over the years.

And it’s estimated that other people who had PPI policies will be owed from £1000s in compensation.

Potter v Canada Square Case

In Potter v Canada Square, the Lender [Canada Square Operations Ltd, formerly Egg Banking plc] accepted that the non-disclosure of commission caused unfairness in the relationship; however, it defended the claim on the basis that it was issued outside the widely accepted six-year limitation period.

Mrs Potter’s legal team invoked Section 32 of the Limitation Act 1980, which extends the limitation period due to the deliberate concealment of commission levels by the lender.
