    PPI Calculations---The concept of 2 Loans and Basic Spreadsheets


    Firstly, I would like you to be familiar with the concept of Loan Amortization and Amortization Schedules-so for now-please study the thread below - if you have not already done so.

    Concept of Loan Amortization - allaboutFORUMS

    As most of you know, I am more of a technical/mathematical specialist than financial expert, so I apologise if it’s a grandmother..eggs scenario and apologies to any financial purists if I use Laymen's Terms rather than Financial Terms, but this thread forms the basis for the more complex threads later on, where we will calculate the figures on both Active Loans and Settled Loans.

    I have devised various scenarios on these spreadsheets, and continually bounced them off my mate Bill-K, who has a far greater intuitive grasp of the interest principles and associated formulae than I have, resulting in frequent enhancements and modifications. I usually have a custom one for complex cases, and include facilities for extra charges & refunds etc.

    I will summarize all that has gone before and explain everything in detail with a full audit trail, in an attempt to bring everybody to the same level of understanding on how these single premium PPI loans actually work in practice—rather than summarizing it, and you merely accept what I say without actually understanding the audit trail.

    Later, in post number 2 , I will also introduce the basic kernel which will form the backbone of the more complex spreadsheets that we will be using in the later threads, ----and for those not used to working with spreadsheets, I will attempt to convince you that PPI Calculations are just made for spreadsheets.


    First of all, we need the details from the original Loan Agreement– an example is illustrated below with the figures modified to the ones I am going to use for a 2 yr loan (just right for Screen Prints!) :

    Summarizing the details:
    • Cash Advance Loan of £15,000 at an initial Apr of 10.01% apr resulting in mthly payment of £688.99 pm
    • PPI Single Premium Loan of £3,000 at a initial Apr of 10.01% apr resulting in mthly payment of £137.80
    • Total of Both Loans of £18,000 at an initial Apr of 10.01% apr resulting in mthly payment of £826.79
    • Date of Agreement of 1/4/2008 with first payment on 1/5/2008
    • Term of Loan 24 months
    · Additionally—lets assume an increase in the APR at 1/1/2009 resulting in APR 11.56% and revised total mthly payment of £834.79

    The Concept of 2 separate individual Loan Accounts

    First of all we need to understand how these loans work in practice.
    The most important concept to grasp on this subject is

    that there are always 2 loans effectively in operation, even though you may receive only one summarized statement and one debited payment from your bank account

    1. Loan for Cash Advance (might be re financed -but not relevant in this discussion)
    2. Loan for a Single Premium for Payment Protection Insurance (usually then paid to third parties)
    What we have to do is be aware of this and able to apportion any figures quoted into the relevant loans.

    As the APR is the same on both loans - first of all we need to calculate the ratios of how the premiums are divided at outset, and similarly throughout the life of the overall loan.

    In the example I am using the ratios Loan Amount to the Total Loan Amount resulting in these 2 ratios:

    1. Cash Advance Loan-£15,000 to £18,000 = £15,000 divided by £18,000 = 83.33%
    2. PPI SPI Loan - £3,000 to £18,000 = £3,000 divided by £18,000 = 16.67%
    As I develop the explanations further, I will be using these "percentages" and call them Apportionment Factors.

    Let’s just assume for a moment that we have a nice simple case of no PPI refunds, a completed loan run its full course with no Settlement Payment (we will bring these into play in the next 2 threads) or even an active loan with no PPI refunds.

    So if we look at our Loan Statements--the actual:
    • Interest
    • Payments
    • Outstanding balance
    can always be split into the 2 separate Loans by using the above Apportionment Factors.

    There will be added complications later on the treatment of Settlement Payments after a PPI refund, which attracts a lower Apportionment Factor--but lets leave that until we get there--and just concentrate on the basics for now.

    Below is the summary of the total loan + the cash loan + the PPI loan

    Double click all 3 in succession then page between all 3 to see the concept of 2 loans & use of the apportionment factors in separating the figures.

    Re: The Concept of 2 Loans & Basic Spreadsheets

    This spreadsheet is a simple method of calculating the implications of an ACTIVE or SETTLED loan with PPI included, if successfully deemed to be mis-sold.

    I've basically stripped our main SS down to demonstrate the basic techniques we shall use in the more complex cases in Active & Settled Loans later on.

    So-ignore Refunds & Rebates till later and experiment with just amending the figures in green--especially the "Number of payments made so far"--
    which has to be entered to activate the SS--enter 24 first which would be a loan gone to full term--then try 13 which is the date that we shall use in next thread to calculate refunds and the figures for the "restructured Loan".

    See how easy it is to get the refund figures--this is the power in Excel (or OO-Calc) that is especially suited to these PPI sums.

    In the previous SS in post 1, I introduced a rate change--to cater for this (and missed payments) simply overwrite the green column "Monthly Amount Paid" (it mucks up the formulae when you do this by the way for a subsequent loan case--SO make sure you save this one as a master somewhere first.

    The SS calculates 8% just like the theory in the Bank Charges.

      Right finished this thread--I hope you didn't find it too rambling and useful.

      Your comments would be greatly appreciated--Positive or negative--and also need to know if my attachments are ok as its a few years since i originally created them

      Please note the spreadsheets in use to illustrate basic points are early ones--I am now up to Version 23 which eventually we will use in the more complex threads

      The above was to basically describe the Apportionment theory which we will use in all subsequent threads-be they Settled or ---Active Loans which are to be restructered if PPI is cancelled.

        Hi

        Before I get too involved with doing more stuff on here which is on other sites anyway---interested to know how many on the site really interested in this PPi stuff---

          I think the basic working outs are enough mate. Thing is when people get stuck they'll then ask at which point this knowledge becomes more use if you get what I mean?

          It's a simple process and whilst the above is great it might be a wee bit heavy for some folks that just want to reclaim. However lets see. I'm sure this section will get busier when google picks it up (day or so)...
          I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

              Think its great to see the maths behind it.

              Am sure one or two people are starting to wake up to the maths and the fact that one or two banks could be stiffing us once again.

              Have you any intentions on doing anything on revolving credit agreements (credit cards)?

                Re: The Concept of 2 Loans & Basic Spreadsheets

                Yes--I agree Niddy--now I've got this particular thread finished-I will refer back to it in explaining theory when helping individual calculations.
                The SS I did on SXGuy thread used this theory.

                Once I used to help di30 & marshallka on MSE doing their sums in the early days and MSE people are notorious for not helping themselves IMO and sometimes I had up to a dozen cases on the go at once--coaxing extra info out of the posters etc (without attachment facilities)--frankly it made me ill & tetchy and Bill-k & marshallka advised to not bother with MSE .

                I vowed that I would devise methods and spreadsheets so that people could calculate their own redress given my spreadsheets so I had only minimum participation.

                For instance-although I actually did the SS in SXguy thread--it only took me 32.3 seconds to put his info in-lol---in new cases (if I am asked to help) I will be posting appropiate SS and asking people to fill it in themselves.

                Now that I have got the 2 main threads done--the others are in fact easy & short for me so can introduce them at my leisure.

                I really like the fact on here that I can go back and edit my posts when doing these long posts & threads-over on PCF & PAG I'm a mod --so can do that too-but in LB I get timed out after 3 days -- sometimes before I've "top & tailed em"

                    Cheers Turbo.

                    I have a case that is 3 weeks away from going to FOS. I know the bank are at it but its the proving that is always the hard part.

                    And to prove it you need the maths behind it and all the rest. So that will be a brilliant thread for me.

                    And thanks for all your hard work it is much appreciated.

                    By the new FSA handbook is there an update just come out or are you referring to the 2010 version on credit cards?

                      Bit of bed time reading here Ben (yes the 2010 version btw)

                      The new authorative method of calculating redress--see page 115--appendix 2 example 6 here

                      FSA Handbook 10/12-The assessment and redress of Payment Protection Insurance complaints

                      Also see here:

                      how does the ombudsman approach redress where a PPI policy has been mis-sold?

                        Turboman

                        Thanks awfully for that. It is the version I am aware of and the version the bank in question is totally not following.

                        They are allowed to offer another way of redress but only if the consumer is NOT shortchanged and if they advise the consumer clearly how they have calculated the redress.

                        I am not quite at the stage of needing a maths man but can see this one being long and drawn out.

                        There are quite a number of these cases appearing.

                        I know of one where the bank has been able to get the redress down from £15000 to £7000 by the way they are calculating.

                        So will be most interested when your revolving credit thread appears.
