LISA BUCKINGHAM: Interest-only mortgages are NOT a scandal | Mail Online

LISA BUCKINGHAM: Interest-only mortgages are NOT a scandal | Mail Online

As the toll for PPI mis-selling rises through £12billion, it is still anyone’s guess exactly where it will end. Quite clearly the banks are in it up to their necks.

However, it is also perfectly plain that ambulance-chasing claims management firms are stoking the fire and making the bill even worse than it should be.

I have sympathy with Lloyds boss Antonio Horta-Osorio, who is arguing that when a jumped-up claim – fuelled by the no-win, no-fee crowd who are forever cropping up on our phones when we know we’ve never bought such a policy – is thrown out by the ombudsman, the £850 charge associated with that should be passed on to the claims management outfit.
