Mis-sold PpiI can remember going to my bank in the late 1990s to enquire about a loan for a new car. I`d fell in love with this slinky, silver sports car and being a single male at the time, with plenty of disposable income, I thought I`d treat myself to this flashy kind of motor. The bank eventually approved my loan but I was forced into taking out payment protection insurance at the same time. I`m not sure why I took it out to be honest. I think I felt pressured into taking out the policy because the person whom I spoke at the bank said it strengthen my initial loan application if PPI was in place. Nothing was explained to me about the PPI and how it would cover sickness payments or payments for the loan if I was made redundant. In fact, I think I was
Mis-sold Ppi by the bank and had it not been so long ago I would put a claim in against the bank in question. Over the years countless customers have been
Mis-sold Ppi policies through the banks. Huge profits could be made out of PPIs so you can see why banks would push them onto their customers. Today people are fighting back. Anyone who thinks they might have been
Mis-sold Ppi polices in the past can speak to claims management firms who will take their case on and try to recover as many payments as possible.
If your apartment catches on fire due to the negligence of a neighbor, it could cost you thousands of dollars. It doesn?t seem fair that someone else?s carelessness could cost you your prized possessions - but without fire insurance, it can.
Late for an appointment, Suzan squished her cigarette into a bottle and tossed it under the sink. A few hours later she returned to see the charred remains of what used to be building C in her apartment complex. Apparently, the cigarette wasn?t completely out, and her negligence led to a roaring fire.
Luckily, Suzan had fire insurance. This insurance provides coverage for losses from a fire and the resultant damage caused by smoke. Not only does this insurance take care of Suzan, but it also helps her neighbors. The insurance will pay for most, if not all, of the damages caused to the surrounding properties.
Fire insurance--also called renter?s insurance is incredibly inexpensive when you consider all that it takes care of. Some policies are under $300.00 annually. You won?t feel like it?s worth it until you finally need it... and then the annual fee will seem nominal.
Some tenants feel that they don?t need insurance--believing that the landlord is responsible for damages to their personal possessions. This is NOT TRUE. Most leases specify that you?re on your own when it comes to damages to personal possessions from fires and other natural disasters. The only time a landlord can be held responsible for your things is when the damage was caused due to his negligence. i.e. If the fire was caused by an electrical problem, etc.
If you don?t have fire insurance and you can prove that the fire was caused by your landlord or another tenant?s negligence, you may be able to recover some of your losses in small claims court. If the tenant/landlord is found guilty, he or she will be held legally responsible to repair the building, and replace or reimburse for the damaged possessions within. However, if you already have fire insurance before your property is damaged, they`ll go through the court hassles for you.
