Details

One of the measures in the Payment Protection Insurance Market Investigation Order 2011 (the Order) is that customers must receive an annual reminder from their provider setting out the cost of their payment protection insurance and a reminder of their right to cancel.

Paymentshield failed to send annual reminders to 626 customers. The CMA has issued Paymentshield with Directions designed to ensure compliance with the Order. Paymentshield will offer refunds of premiums to affected customers. In 2017, the CMA sent a letter to Paymentshield for failing to send annual reminders to over 3,000 customers.
