Equity Release – Fast Sale Cash Buyers Livingston, West Lothian

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Equity Release

Equity release lets you release some of the money you have in your home, without having to move, which you can use towards a more comfortable retirement.
Available for people who are over the age of 55 and who have no mortgage or a very small mortgage balance.
The minimum value of your property usually needs to be £75,000 and dependent on your age you would be able to release a percentage of your equity. The older you are the more money you can release but as this may also affect your state benefits you should think very carefully and seek independent advice before going down this route.
Make sure that the lender is a member of SHIP (Safe Home Income Plans) and that you fully discuss all your options with a financial advisor who is qualified to give advice on equity release schemes.

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) info@debtfc.co.uk Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

The real profit from selling loans often doesn’t come from the loans or credit cards themselves, but from the insurance sold alongside. There are around 20 million PPI policies in the UK, generating around £5 billion a year for the companies involved. Yet it isn’t the insurer that reaps most of the reward, it’s the company selling the loan.
The latest company to be fined is the Swinton Group who was fined £770,000 by the Financial Services Authority for mis-selling payment protection insurance (PPI).
The FSA imposed the penalty on the insurance broker for mis-selling PPI alongside motor and home insurance to 350,000 customers.
The regulator said that Swinton had wrongly chosen to include PPI automatically in its insurance quotes, without first establishing whether each customer had any need for the product, which is designed to cover insurance premiums if the policyholder is unable to pay because of accident, sickness or unemployment.
Swinton has agreed to contact 350,000 customers, who bought a total of 480,000 policies between December 2006 and March 2008. It will offer them a refund of the premiums paid for PPI. In addition, Swinton will review previously rejected claims and pay compensation where appropriate.
Swinton stopped selling PPI in March 2008 at the request of the FSA after the failures in its sales process had come to light.
In addition to automatically including PPI in its insurance quotes, Swinton did not make it clear that PPI was optional and failed to reveal that the policies cost only £1.21 each, with the remainder of the £15 to £20 charged going as a fee to Swinton.
This month, the FSA and companies selling PPI agreed on an industry-wide package of measures for consumers, including refunds totaling about £60 million. The companies selling PPI agreed to refund premium rises and reverse any reductions in cover that took place in 2009.
Do you have a claim – were you mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI).
