The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has now received over one million complaints about payment protection insurance (PPI), with the majority of them being in relation to the mis-selling of policies.
The Ombudsman revealed that in the second quarter of this financial year, from July to September, it received 115,247 new complaints about PPI.
The figure is actually below the 132,152 received in the previous quarter but leaves the FOS well on track to beat last year's total figure.
In the full year 2012/13 it had 378,669 PPI complaints. In the first half of 2013/14 it has already had 247,399, a 149% increase on the same six month period last year.
According to the Ombudsman's data PPI now accounts for 81% of all complaints.
Complaints for car and motorcycle insurance came in at 1,866 for the quarter, up slightly from 1,708 for the previous three months.
This put the half year total at 3,574, in line with the 7,785 received the year before.
The situation is similar for buildings insurance. Some 1,037 complaints were received, almost identical to the 1,038 in the prior quarter.
Again the year to date figure of 2,075 is in keeping with the full year rate of 4,611 in 2012/13.
