‘We Introduce You’ believes borrowers should treat insurance and loans as separate transactions Released by: Sally Harper Web Site: http://www.we-introduce-you.co.uk We Introduce You has thoughts on insurance Email: press@we-introduce-you.co.uk Keywords: secured loans, loans, insurance, payment protection insurance, ppi Update Date: 11/15/2006 12:23:18 PM Hits: 104 Descrption:  With the growing debate over Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) and with the Office of Fair Trading referring the market to the Competition Commission, the secured loans company ‘We Introduce You’ believes consumers should look at the purchase of insurance cover in a different light. ‘We Introduce You’ says it takes note of the plethora of articles written about the benefits of reducing PPI costs by going to a standalone provider, but they believe even by taking this option, the purchase of insurance cover is still a significant financial purchase for the consumer in its own right. Managing Director of ‘We Introduce You’ Adrian Hudson said: “If a consumer was going out to buy a new television at a cost of £1000 over 5 years they might visit several shops or websites to compare the cost. The problem with PPI is that people shop around for a low interest rate loan, but completely forget about the savings they could make on insurance cover. In general, consumers should treat the purchase of a loan and PPI in the same way they would when buying a TV and DVD player – with each purchase being related, but fundamentally separate. The consumer should also weigh up their medium to long-term risks and, given that some PPI policies have significant exclusion clauses, should even ask themselves if they need insurance cover in the first place”.
