Mis-sold Ppi
I can remember going to my bank in the late 1990s to enquire about a loan for a new car. I`d fell in love with this slinky, silver sports car and being a single male at the time, with plenty of disposable income, I thought I`d treat myself to this flashy kind of motor. The bank eventually approved my loan but I was forced into taking out payment protection insurance at the same time. I`m not sure why I took it out to be honest. I think I felt pressured into taking out the policy because the person whom I spoke at the bank said it strengthen my initial loan application if PPI was in place. Nothing was explained to me about the PPI and how it would cover sickness payments or payments for the loan if I was made redundant. In fact, I think I was Mis-sold Ppi by the bank and had it not been so long ago I would put a claim in against the bank in question. Over the years countless customers have been Mis-sold Ppi policies through the banks. Huge profits could be made out of PPIs so you can see why banks would push them onto their customers. Today people are fighting back. Anyone who thinks they might have been Mis-sold Ppi polices in the past can speak to claims management firms who will take their case on and try to recover as many payments as possible.

No-one likes to contemplate the possibility that they or their family might become critically ill. However, since 20% of all men and 25% of all women in the UK become critically ill before retirement age, it is important not just to consider the possibility but also to prepare for it happening.

What is Critical Illness Cover?

Critical illness cover enables you to do this by giving you financial security if you become seriously ill by giving you a tax free lump sum.

What is the Benefit of Critical Illness Cover?

As a result more and more people in the UK are taking out critical illness cover. One of the principal reasons behind the increasing popularity of critical illness cover is that the illnesses it protects against are very common and frequently leave people incapacitated and in need of medical care and financial support.

If you are diagnosed with an illness covered by your critical illness insurance policy then you will receive money that can be put towards these medical expenses and the costs of living that you are unable to meet if you cannot work.

This means that by taking out critical illness cover you will be able to look after yourself if you become seriously ill. It also means that those who are dependent on you will nott suffer as you will be able to continue to take care of them with the payout from your critical illness insurance policy.

What are the Restrictions on Critical Illness Cover?

Unlike other types of insurance, you can use the money from your critical illness cover in any way that you like. For example, you can use it to pay for:

Paying for medical treatment
Making up for income that is lost from being unable to work
Paying off a mortgage

Extending Critical Illness Cover to Children Critical illness cover can also be extended to protect children. If you include your child in your critical illness insurance and he or she becomes seriously ill, then you will receive a lump sum payment. You will be allowed to keep this payment even if your child recovers.
