Seems that way.
Worth complaining saying you will be taking it to the FOS if you think it was mis-sold.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Financial Conduct Authority not FOS, also they did everything for free that others would charge you for. This site just jumps at missold even when told its optionalDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Wrong. Its the FOS who would deal with any misselling complaint and who you should take it to. FCA is the competent authority and regulator and would be notified by the FOS of complainst but its the FOS you would have to complain via for redress or refunds.Still rolling rolling rolling...... <

Its not a financial insurance product, have a look at the bottom of their siteDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Still covered by the FOS. FOS covers more than just that.
Regulated by the FCA, but the ombudsman scheme to complain to is the FOS.Still rolling rolling rolling...... <

Why? Many of the similar letters from banks regarding their loans were not because they were of little value or in any way unsuitable but just because of minor technicalities on previous communications.MoneySavingExpert.com's campaigns manager, Wendy Alcock, says: "The fact PayPlan has needed to write to its customers to remind them of the purpose of the policy rings alarm bells that it's actually of little value."loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -
credit expert is of little value with the scores, does it write and tell us?Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

I had both cover my payments and cover my life about 5-6 years ago. I remember speaking to them about it, saying that I didn't need their payment protection as I'd rather pay off more each month (totalled about £50 a month over 4 years). I also said I live with my parents who would be able to cover my payments if needed, plus if I did lose my job I would be happy to go bankrupt if needed. They then guilted me into the cover my life saying my parents would be dumped with my debt if I died, so I should be taking both out.
Really interested to see where this goes, and will be digging out the paperwork this weekend (if I can find it after 6 years... Eek!)
By it's very nature, shouldn't a debt management plan only be interested in clearing your debts in the fastest, most affordable way? If I lost my job, surely a renegotiation of my terms with the banks be in order, rather than a costly insurance plan??
I know very little about the life insurance one, so if anyone can cast light on to that I'd really appreciate it .0
