FAQ’s regarding PBA claims
What is a PBA?
Customers have been charged a monthly fee for an account which has a bundle of extra benefits. However, it has been found that these benefits are not always suitable for the customer and can offer poor value for money. It can be difficult for customers to claim on the extras offered due to restrictions held in the small print. Some customers have even found that they are simply not eligible for the extras despite being sold the account or did not even know that they had taken out such an account.
