    Wish I had seen this thread about 15 minutes ago! Have just had the phone call as described here and they were asking if all was ok had I got the card etc. Then all of a sudden they mention the Payment Protection and for some reason I took it thinking it was the Credit Card protection (covering card loss etc.) Now I have it they did say there was a cancellation that can be done within 30 days. Can this be done by letter or am I going to have to phone up and (as seems to be the case with these) argue with the person to get it cancelled?
