When considering loan insurance we recommend two things first and foremost:-

• Do not buy the policy from your loan provider
• Do not buy a single premium policy

Once you are over the first hurdle you then need to decide what cover you want, as there are three options open to you:-

• Unemployment only cover
• Accident & Sickness cover
• Life insurance

There are also a huge amount of insurance options available for financial services. One type in particular is payment protection insurance. This is offered for the purpose of loans, to credit cards, to catalogues etc..

In the event of you being unable to meet the repayments owed to companies, payment protection insurance will be able to assist you in making your payments.

This type of insurance is offered at the time when you sign up to a credit card for instance. If you were to lose your job, or be prevented by injury or illness then it could become impossible to meet the repayments. The payment protection insurance will cover the payments for a short amount of time.

Although this type of insurance does sound ideal, it is important to make sure that you are going to be covered not only to the best level, but also the correct type. Many companies are dictating to their customers when they take out a contract their own idea of a good payment protection insurance scheme that is offered with the deal.

Financial regulators in the UK have been highly critical of this type of insurance because of companies taking advantage of their customers.

It is important to realise that when you are borrowing money from a company that it is not essential to even have payment protection insurance at all, if you choose not to. The company may try to persuade you that their preferred plan is suited to your needs. Although you are borrowing from that company, the payment protection scheme does not need to be with them.

There are advantages though of having the right payment protection scheme. If you were unable to meet payments, it could lead to you losing some of your assets through repossession, for example, your car or home. The right insurance plan will ease the pressure and allow extra time to meet repayments.

To make sure that you are getting the best deal, it is important to look around and get a range of quotes. You should make yourself aware of any finer details of the contract, that may be hidden away in the small print. If there are any restrictions or exclusions, it would be a good idea to be aware of them before being caught in a contract that is not best suited to your requirements, and does not cover you for every eventuality.

For the best payment protection insurance policy

• Do not sign straight up to the scheme that the company lending you the money is offering.
• Look around for a variety of different quotes.
• Check all documentation, including the small print before committing.
• Make sure it meets your needs and requirements.
