From today's Financial Times:
Lobby groups call for clawback of PPI bonuses
Banks are under fresh pressure to penalise executives who may have been responsible for one of the worst consumer scandals in decades after lobby groups backed calls to claw back bonuses for the misselling of payment protection insurance.
Millions of pounds in awards should be investigated in light of the scale of compensation set aside for victims of PPI, said Which?, the consumer group.
The demand echoes that of the Financial Services Authority, which has urged banks to strip bonuses paid out to those who were in charge when the controversial loan insurance was sold.
Banks have taken note of the FSA’s request and are expected to provide more details of their efforts in their annual reports. One said it was “exploring every possible avenue” in its attempts to reclaim past bonuses.
Public anger over banker remuneration has already led Stephen Hester, chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland, to give up his £1m bonus this year, following an intense political and media campaign.
A number of banks have said that PPI will be a factor in this year’s pay talks, but none have so far managed to reclaim bonuses paid out in the past.
Under the regulator’s rules, deferred awards can be cut if the business suffers a material failure of risk management or downturn in performance.
In a letter to the UK’s five biggest lenders, Which? claimed that unless the industry’s billion pound provision for mis-sold loan insurance was reflected in current remuneration arrangements, the banks would be in breach of the City regulator’s pay code.
“This is one of the clearest examples of unfair treatment of customers and reward for failure on an industrial scale,” said Richard Lloyd, executive director at Which? “There has been a lot of rhetoric from the government and banks about linking performance to pay. This will be the test to see what that rhetoric means in practice.”
Some banks - such as Barclays and RBS - said they stopped selling the majority of PPI by the time the clawback rules were introduced in 2009, potentially making it difficult for them to retrieve previous awards to executives involved in the scandal.
Lloyds, which announced it would stop selling the insurance product altogether in July 2010, has been looking to claw back part of the bonuses given to Eric Daniels, former chief executive, and some of his top lieutenants.
Bob Diamond, chief executive of Barclays, has previously told a parliamentary committee that PPI would be a factor in the bank’s pay talks this year.
But Antony Jenkins, former chief executive of Barclaycard, said those responsible had mostly left the bank.
“The PPI problem dates back to the start of the last decade,” he said. “The people who were leading the business at that time and who had accountability for this have left the organisation,”
Which? has pointed out that Mr Jenkins tenure at the helm of Barclaycard between 2006-2009 coincided with the distribution of policies later deemed to have been mis-sold. Barclaycard has taken a £600m provision for PPI redress.

Indeed so, Monsieur. John Lennon's contempt for the honours system has always impressed me. These days, a knighthood - to me - is a condemnation.Originally posted by leclerc View PostAs I know you'll love my perspective, at least they haven't touched his pension
I agree that his pension - and his ability to continue earning $h1t-loads for his $h1t - should be focussed upon.
Ed Miliband touched upon this. I would like to see someone run with that baton, now.

What real benefit does having a knighthood have? I ask because the honours system itself while nice, is similar to giving a certificate for swimming. It's looks nice on the wall but when it comes to anything else it is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.
As I know you'll love my perspective, at least they haven't touched his pension

End of October.Originally posted by leclerc View Postwhen did they reject you and when did the complaint go in?
complaint went in at the end of June last year
FOS came back at the beginning of the month to say that "the business" had also turned them own so now I am in the loop whilst they look into it.
Barclay's took over the agreed period "due to pressure " of complaints and led me to believe, verbally, that I "had a chance"
The card is long since gone and was initially obtained at a show and I had a "gift" of a sports bag, at no time was any form of insurance discussed, the usual I suspect.
But out of four initially I only have them and Bank of Scotland left that have had issues, (we wont go into Welcome Finance as that is a completly different isue)!
DT xx
sorry forgot that I have another that paid out in full! so it was five cards and a loan!
