George Banco Loan 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.
About George Banco
George Banco act as an alternative lender for people with a troubled credit history. Their loans do not require any specific security measures, but a guarantor is necessary. George Banco will only contact a guarantor if it has proved impossible to reach an agreement with the borrower first.
These loans can be used for most purposes, whether that be car finance, holidays or debt consolidation.
Their loans are open to all qualifying UK applicants, regardless of where you live or what you do.
PPI were often added on loans 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).

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:
- The commission payment was not disclosed;
- 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 George Banco 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 George Banco;
- Your PPI Claim was previously rejected by George Banco;
- George Banco 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.
Had PPI with your George Banco Loan?
A recent ruling means simply being sold payment protection insurance (PPI) means you're potentially a victim of a mis-selling. Although the PPI deadline has now passed you could still claim PPI compensation from George Banco. Find out how below.
George Banco were one of the many firms involved with the mis-selling of PPI with loans. You may have been offered PPI when you took a loan with them. PPI insurance was designed to cover payments if you were unable to because of an accident, sickness, involuntary unemployment or your death.
With the Plevin ruling and other subsequent landmark court cases coming to light, thousands of people who initially thought they were not eligible to claim under the new ruling may now be eligible to make a claim. This is why many of George Banco customers are now checking their past loan agreements and statements to find out if they had PPI and could be due back a PPI commission compensation under the new Plevin ruling.
With around 64 Million PPI Polices Sold Between 1990 and 2010 there is a significantly high chance that you are eligible for a refund.
