The PPI Deadline was on the 29th of August 2019. You can no longer make a claim against a regular trading company but you can make FSCS PPI claims still as this is the compensation fund set up for companies that have ceased trading.
There are also cases where you can claim back the tax paid on your previous PPI claims as the tax was automatically deducted from your PPI refund amount by the banks.
You can also potentially still claims on Plevin PPI cases. These were cases that were mis sold and the commissions weren’t disclosed. In news reports, the commission figures mentioned were as high as 90% commissions paid.
