Is ppi the same as mortgage loanguard?

Answer 1

Hi,

Mortgage is a debt instrument where a person takes a loan by pledging some real estate property against it and pays back the loan in installments. However, according to the statistics the problem of missold mortgagecomes almost hand in hand with the usage of mortgage. At the time when mortgages are being sold the brokers does not fully disclose information in front of the customers. And the customers trusting the advice of the brokers sometimes end up buying overly priced mortgages which makes it difficult for them to keep pace with their required installment payments.

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) on the other hand, is a policy which is used to cover debt in case a person becomes unable to earn like if a person dies, looses the job, becomes handicapped or ill. In such circumstances the insurance company will pay for the installments. However, this is not how it happens the insurance companies at times refuse to pay the installments when the borrowers claim. There are also other problems associated with buying this policy; many times borrowers have no idea that they are acquiring PPI policy along with mortgage loans. Also sometimes PPI is forcefully added to the policy and there are also case where buyers are not given full information and they end up buying PPI at higher rate. These are all the problems of missold PPI.
