  • Loan Protection Explained  By : Simon Burgess
    Mis-selling of loan protection has occurred in the past and one of the biggest factors that contributed to this is poor information given when the policy was sold. The main culprits have been high street lenders that have poor selling techniques, with little or no training when it comes to selling. While the high street lender can give a good deal on a loan, they cannot give the cheapest quotes for protection. It has been revealed that they make £4 billion in profits when sel...
  • Ensure Loan Insurance Is Suitable For Your Circumstances  By : Simon Burgess
    Loan insurance can give you an income if you should become unable to work due to suffering an illness, accident or unemployment. Loan insurance can give tax-free payments that allow you to continue meeting your debt repayments without worry. This allows you to concentrate on getting better and getting back to work, or finding another job, with the security of knowing you do not have to struggle to afford your loan repayments each month.

    Loan payment protection can start to...
  • Loan Cover Can Work If You Understand What You Are Buying  By : Simon Burgess
    Providing you take the time to read the terms and conditions that come with a policy then loan cover can be a valuable asset. It is only when the consumer is ignorant of the exclusions and buys cover that has not been explained fully that problems occur. This was seen in 2005 when the Office of Fair Trading received a super complaint from the Citizens’ Advice Bureau. Following this, the Financial Services Authority began investigating and subsequently handed out fines to seve...
  • Income Protection Cover Could Provide A Replacement Income  By : Simon Burgess
    Those who have loan or credit card debts or a mortgage with repayments to make each month should give some thought as to how they would continue to make these payments if they were to lose their income. While you may turn to savings if an illness or accident prevented you from working for a short period of time, any savings you had would soon dwindle. If you were made redundant then it could take some time to find another job and struggling to meet your monthly commitments wo...
  • Protect Your Lifestyle With Income Protection Insurance  By : Simon Burgess
    Income protection insurance can be a valuable product if you have mortgage repayments or credit card or loan repayments to meet each month. No one knows what is around the corner and if you should become unemployed or have an accident or illness then you could be left struggling. If you can get back to work very quickly then savings could get you by; however, if you should need months away from work to get back on your feet then savings would soon run dry.

  • Income Protection Could Give You Financial Security  By : Simon Burgess
    If you were to suddenly find yourself without an income, due to losing your job or being unable to work for health reasons, your lifestyle could change drastically. If you have monthly mortgage repayments to make you would still have to continue meet the costs or risk losing your home to repossession. Loan or credit card repayments would also have to be made too, and you could struggle when it comes to finding the money needed. Income protection could give you the financial s...
  • Loan Protection Insurance Will Become More Transparent  By : Simon Burgess
    Loan protection insurance has seen many problems, which has led the Financial Services Authority to set out recommendations to improve communication and selling in the sector. Some changes have already been put in place as a result of the recommendations and more are in the pipeline, with the forthcoming introduction of comparison tables in March this year.

    It is thought that with the introduction of the tables protection policies will become more transparent, and so consu...
  • Loan Protection Cover – Shop Around For It  By : Simon Burgess
    To get the cheapest premiums and a quality policy you understand you need to shop around for loan protection cover. When taking out a loan the majority of lenders will offer loan protection cover alongside the money you are borrowing. However, very often the premiums lenders charge for a policy can be up to 80% more than with the cheapest quotes found with a specialist provider, so it is always best to compare the market with an independent specialist of loan protection cover...
  • Ensure Loan Payment Protection Insurance Is Not Included With The Loan  By : Simon Burgess
    While you should certainly consider taking out loan payment protection insurance, because it can be a valuable asset, be careful to avoid taking out a policy with the same company that provides your loan. Sometimes high street lenders add on the protection policy without asking the individual if they want or need the cover. Taking a policy this way not only adds enormous expense to the cost of the loan, but can result in you wasting money on a useless policy that would not pa...
  • Loan Payment Protection Cover Still Causing Much Confusion  By : Simon Burgess
    Despite recommendations set out by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) for changes in the payment protection sector, there are still many shortcomings that need to be dealt with.

But in this climate of change it is important to remember that loan payment protection cover is still worthwhile, as long as you make sure your policy suits your cir...
  • The Basics Of Loan Payment Protection  By : Simon Burgess
    Not understanding loan payment protection is the number one fault associated with mis-selling.

This income is used to cover your loan or credit card repayments and is tax free.

    Loan insurance premiums can vary a lot and the cheapest way to take out a policy is to go with a standalone spec...
  • Loan Payment Insurance Can Protect Your Loan But Read The Terms And Conditions  By : Simon Burgess
    The terms and conditions that come with loan payment insurance do differ, which means that when comparing quotes you also have to compare the key facts. The key facts detail the exclusions in a policy and there are some that are seen on a regular basis in policies. Those who are of retirement age, are working for themselves, have an ongoing illness or who only work for a few hours each week would not benefit from cover. However, if the illness has not been present during the ...
  • Loan Protection Insurance Cover Providers Are Still Mis-Selling  By : Simon Burgess
    In 2005 the Office of Fair Trading received a super complaint from the Citizens’ Advice Bureau. This sparked a huge investigation into the payment protection insurance (PPI) sector, which resulted in several firms receiving fines for not putting the consumer ahead of profits. In some cases, it was found that loan protection insurance cover bought alongside the borrowing had almost doubled the cost of the loan.

    Since the investigation began into the sector, companies found ...
  • Consider Protecting Your Loan With Payment Protection  By : Simon Burgess
    Those of you who are taking out a loan or credit card would be wise to give some thought to covering their monthly repayments with payment protection insurance (PPI). Cover can be taken out to insure against the fact that an individual might have to take time off work if they should have an accident, suffer illness or become unemployed through no reason of their own.

    While, if this should happen, your circumstances would change, you would still be expected to pay all your ...

  • Loan Payment Insurance Costly When Taken Alongside Borrowing  By : Simon Burgess
    Sadly many consumers do not realise that they have many options when it comes to protecting the monthly repayments on a loan. Those who are misguided into taking out cover at the same time as borrowing could find that they are paying way over the odds for the premiums. This is because the loan payment insurance is often costly when buying this way from a high street provider.

    The fact is that you can choose to buy loan payment insurance from a standalone provider. Getting ...

  • Comparison Tables On The Way To Help Those Buying Loan Protection Insurance  By : Simon Burgess
    Loan protection insurance is not the easiest product to buy and in the past this had led to many buying cover that has been useless.

It is hoped the tables - which are being implemented by the Financial Services Authority - will lead to a better deal for the consumer as they will be able to determine how much the cover will cost along with being aware there are exclusions.

  • Loan Protection Still Under Scrutiny With Over 4,000 Payment Protection Policies In 2007 Being Investigated  By : Simon Burgess
    The headline is correct.
