Income Protection Insurance

Hello all

I have an income protection policy with Ant Insurance, which I took out as a result of a recommendation on this site. All fine.

However, they have just written to me saying their premium is going up by about 50%. :confused:

Anyone recommend an alternative to them?

Many thanks

Matthew

    Hi there

    There are lots of posts on this site about the Ant Insurance premium increase. If you look through the first 3 or 4 pages of this forum, you will find posts where other members have found alternatives.

    All the best.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    Im with the post office for home insurace, and in that they'll cover you for up to £750 a month for income protection. OK its not a great deal, but would tide me over with any redundancy money until I found another job if the worst was to happen.

    I found a few sites through google, offering it for about £15 a month for each £1000 you want covering.

    Yes yes...I wasn't insinuating it was anyone's fault. I'll be more careful with my wording
