Cheap payment insurance can be unearthed
- 6TH SEPTEMBER 2007
Providing you known where to look you can unearth cheap payment insurance, the standalone provider is always your best bet for the cheapest quotes when it comes to getting the best policy. Payment protection insurance is taken if you wish to have peace of mind that if you should come out of work due to accident, sickness or unemployment you would still have an income with which to pay your outgoings.
Mortgage payment protection, income protection and loan payment protection are a family of insurance products that can give you peace of mind when it comes to your mortgage repayments, loan and credit card repayments or to cover the essential outgoings if you lose your income. A policy could begin to pay out a monthly tax free income after you have been out of work for 30 days or more and continue to pay out for up to 12 months and in some cases 24 months.
The whole payment protection insurance sector has received bad publicity due to the high premiums the high street lender often quotes and the mis selling of policies due to lack of information regarding the key facts and exclusions.
In 2005 after a super complaint and various investigations by the Citizens Advice; the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) the sector was then passed onto the Competition Commission. They are conducting an in depth inquiry into the sector and anticipate having their review of the industry completed by February 2009. While some changes have been made for the better it is hoped that many more will arise when the review is completed.
