Ban on banks’ point-of-sale PPI add-ons must be reviewed

The case was appealed by Barclays, but Lloyds Banking Group and Shop Direct became involved.

The Commission had said providers would have to wait for seven days after loans were agreed before they could contact customers to sell them the insurance.
