FINANCIAL MIS-SELLING
The mis-selling of investments and financial products within the Irish marketplace has been widespread for some time now. During the boom of the Celtic Tiger lenders and banks became like conveyer belt machines churning in applications and spitting out credit. In an overworked environment like this compliance and regulations were not always addressed accordingly and as a result mis-selling became widespread.
What is Financial Mis-selling?
Financial mis-selling occurs when a finance product is sold by a Bank, Lending Institution, Pension, Life or Investment Company to an individual or group without complying with consumer or financial regulator legislation and requirements. This includes:-
What type of products may have been mis-sold?
There are multiple products within the Irish Financial Services Industry which may have been mis-sold. These products include mortgages, loans, credit cards, hire purchase agreements, payment protection insurance, mortgage repayment protection, income protection, investments, pensions and life assurance.
How do I know if I was mis-sold a finance product?
Financial Mis-selling has become rampant in recent years and only now has it come to light due to the fact that thousand of consumers are now investigating the credit and investments which are fast becoming a source of stress and strain. When you obtained the finance in question you would have been advised by the lender/bank or broker why that policy was suitable for you. If it was a protection policy such as payment protection insurance or mortgage repayment protection it should have had obvious benefits which you can now call upon to help you in your time of need. The problem however lies in the fact that the cover on these policies when called upon is often non existent and as a result the effects of mis-selling become abundantly clear.
