Course Aims:

This podcast aims to familiarise listeners with some of the common unenforceability issues that arise in PPI claims. I will look at when the inclusion of PPI with credit will make the agreement irredeemably unenforceable and some of the common pleadings that accompany such claims such as misrepresentation, breach of ICOB and the unfair relationship provisions. It will also discuss some recent authorities on brokers fees forming part of the total charge for credit and whether credit used for both restricted and unrestricted use constituted a multiple agreement.

Outcomes:
After completing the course you will:
  • Be aware of the recent Manchester case law on PPI litigation and arguments about unenforceability;
  • Be aware of the circumstances when PPI is likely to be treated as a requirement of giving the credit and the consequences that flow from this;
  • Know when an agreement including PPI will be irredeemably unenforceable;
  • Be aware of some of the common pleadings in PPI claims including misrepresentation, breaches of the ICOB Code and the unfair relationships provisions in the Consumer Credit Act 2006.
