"A deadline for mis-sold PPI claims could only be fair if, in exchange, the banks comply with an obligation to contact every customer who was sold PPI to tell them they may be entitled to make a claim.
"For years and years PPI was mis-sold to hundreds of thousands of people who either couldn’t use or didn’t even ask for it in the first place. Consumers are entitled to appropriate compensation and should not be left to chance.
"If you think you have been mis-sold a policy you can make a claim for free by going direct to your bank. Free help and advice to do this is available from Citizens Advice online www.adviceguide.org.uk or at your local CAB."
