Since the payment protection insurance (PPI) scandal began in 2006 more than £35.7bn has been handed out in compensation. Claims-handling firms have grown rich and banks have seen their profits severely dented. But an era is soon coming to an end. You only have until 29 August to submit a new PPI claim. Any received after that will automatically be rejected.
