Your Money Claim We brought you news recently that the weakness of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) could finally see a PPI deadline being introduced.
That deadline, if approved early next year, is likely to be 2018 which will please the banking industry as they now look set to come out of this scandal having still made a profit.
Consumer champions and campaign groups and Your Money Claim have long argued that any deadline would only serve to benefit those who have caused this sorry mess in the first instance.
The fines handed out by the regulator have served as no deterrent to banks and lenders as the rewards gained from breaches the rules far outweigh the risk.
Despite all this it now looks clear that a deadline will be introduced.
As part of the agreement for the deadline to come into play the banking industry has agreed to fund a £42m advertising campaign, which the FCA claim will be designed to encourage those who haven’t come forward to do so.
The problem though as we see it, is that it is doubtful the campaign will explain exactly why so many people haven’t yet come forward.
The truth of it is that the tactics employed by banks and lenders during the height of the mis-selling saw PPI being added to millions of credit agreements without the knowledge of the customer.
We’ve estimated around 7 million have yet to come forward, with the vast majority being completely oblivious their lender has scammed them.
Perhaps an indication of just how much of a grip the FCA have on the banks and lenders it is supposed to oversee, is that they openly admit they have no idea how much the final PPI bill will be.
We made our estimations some time ago that the final bill could be around £42.5 billion, which given the banks estimate of £25 billion, seemed a little extravagant to some.
However, with the overall bill already at £31.5 billion it appears we may just be correct.
PPI was sold on all forms of credit, such as mortgages, loans, car finance, hire purchase agreements, credit cards and store cards.

January 5, 2017 Your Money Claim RBS and Natwest have claimed they have become the first UK banks to put a stop to the ridiculous target driven culture within its branch network.
Whilst we welcome the news, if indeed it turns out to be true of course, there are some pretty worrying points to be raised out of this announcement.
Everybody is aware of the PPI mis-selling scandal which continues to rumble on, and will do so for years to come.
The mis-selling of PPI actually started back in the 1980s before eventually being raised as a concern in 2005.
So why has it taken 10 years since concerns were raised for the first banks to decide to try and change the culture of targeting staff to sell products, which inevitably leads to mis-selling?
Put simply, the profits on offer for mis-selling by banks and lenders far far far outweigh the fines dished out for being caught.
With £50 billion worth of PPI policies sold since 2001 alone and our estimation of a final PPI bill being around £42 billion you can understand the banks will still make huge profits from the scandal.
Unfortunately, as with all banks and lenders, the answer is greed.
The Lloyds Banking Group, incorporating Lloyds, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Blackhorse, were fined £28m in December 2013 for their sales and targeting culture.
Whilst £28m may seem a lot on the surface it clearly didn’t have the desired effect in making the much maligned bank remove it’s bonus structure for selling products to customers.
PPI was sold on all forms of credit, such as mortgages, loans, car finance, hire purchase agreements, credit cards and store cards.
