so some of the mortgage is protection payment insurance but you don't need to pay it, hence making the figures untrue and miscalculated meaning that they owe peole money in this instance

right?

This is VERY true!

Although i think your mate is being shafted for the IFA's fee!

Basically what happened, is people were mis-sold thier protection policy, some werent even told they had it! And the charge was just added to their mortgage. If you have enough evidence that you were mis sold it ( ie: plead ignorance ) there is every possibility you will get every penny back that you have paid towards the mis sold policy and in some rare cases, people have had their mortgages wiped. but that is very rare!

Rudey the IFA is spot on however you don't need an IFA to do this.

PPI schemes are ALWAYS profit with a very small amount of it actually being a premium and if you read the small print you'll find you aint covered for a hell of alot.

But secured borowings always get PPI's sold alongside because targets are set on PPI sales and with that comes the commision. Interestingly enough financiers such as Welcome, yes, and the big named companies have a rewrite capacity (if anybody reading this is struggling a bit, ASK your lender) allowing them to drop the interest rate from the original and extend the term time (taking the monthly pressure off the borrower) but when they do this they remove the PPI at the same and guess what? you already paid for it!

Other than that when you write and request the cancellation you are entitled to a rebate which is on a scale relating to the term time, and the amount you get back drops the further along the term time you are.

Lastly, the FSA stipulate that you MUST be advised of all of this so its a fair sale. If it wasn't explained, complain directly to the FSA and it will be investigated.

But save yourself a few grand don't ask an IFA to do it for you.
