What does ppi stand for?

PPI is a type of insurance that comes as an optional extra with credit cards, loans, and car finance. In most cases, it is designed to cover repayments if you become unemployed or ill. However, many consumer groups advise against PPI as customers often end up paying for the insurance without realizing they could claim back what they have paid.

Gap insurance is designed to cover any difference in the price you paid for your car and what it is currently worth. For example, if you purchased a car for £15,000 but had to sell it after six months when the value has fallen to £10,000, gap insurance would cover the £5,000 difference.
