Misappropriation     

 

The problem usually happens when the lending company reneges on their commitments.  Often, loan services automatically include this type of service.  However, sometimes, the process ends up at the point when the loan is approved and the client has no confirmation whether they have PPI coverage.  Often the borrower does not bother to ask because for them it was just one of the requirements to get the loan.
