Tenet offers 50% PII excess discount for members

As a TenetLime (mortgage) member I have just received my PI renewal through them, showing a very welcome reduction in premium and a reduction in the excess.

This must be due, in part, to a very tight compliance regime which protects both the client and the adviser, and (naturally) the insurer. Compliant advice processes are vital and Tenet have it well nailed down.

I’m sure that whiplash injuries are just a sign of the times as well? What both have in common is that your working class customers have shared the fact that both are instant cash cows and how to milk them.

Perhaps the banks could have just refunded all their customers PPI money from the outset? But then it’s the customers that are paying the CRC fees, not the banks. So they have no motivation to do so.
