    Hi

    You've probably entered the post in all capital letters, which is why it's ended up as every word having the first letter capitalised. It's very hard to read, could you edit it?

    What you can do: reinstate your PPI as per their offer, make a claim and have your mortgage paid for the next 12 months.

    What you should do: Having decided to deliberately cancel your policy, only you can decide on the morals of reinstating it and claiming now.

    What you can't do: No lender is going to give you a new mortgage without you being in employment. You would have to declare this on a mortgage application; not to do so is fraud.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, and I don't think it is very useful to ask you to edit your post to remove capital letters!
    I think that given the circumstances you should do whatever it takes (within the law!) to make sure that you have a roof over your head, especially when you have just found out you are pregnant, congratulations by the way. You have been paying £90 a month for this insurance which is a lot of money, I would reinstate and claim if it was me.

    Well firstly calm downm and breath.
    Pay pinnacal, act like it was a mistake at the bank. Then claim, you been paying (and well over the odds at £90, should have cancelled to a new policy as then the waiting time for unemployment is waivered but thats no help right now) so pay up and claim
    With the new mortgage to move, you struggling, unless you can sell the flat and with the money buy a house and port the mortgage.
    Try contacting the coincil and getting on their housing register, saying you may be made homeless in 12 months and you are over crowded. That could be one way to get a bigger place and at least the ball will be started rolling to get a place as the waiting lists are long depending on your circumstances.

    I agree, reinstate and claim. Also, when your baby is born you'll be entitled to child allowance and likely to tax credits too which all helps, some lenders count these as household income too xx

    Why not? I'm not having a go at the OP, it's just if it's in normal case more people will read it which will result in more replies.

    She's hardly going to be bothered about grammer whilst having a major panic, are you not going to put anything helpful here until she edits her post?

  • Hi
    Firstly Andy - can you read the Queens language? So what I wrote in capitals as I was ina blind panic if you have nothing constructive to add then why bother posting at all
    To everyone else many many thanks - I have rund Pinnacle and said after excessive spending it seems my direct debit bounced and I have paid over the phone and re-instated the monthly direct debit. I have already rund the morgtgage people and told them that at the moment I will be just looking to sell my flat and release the money as the market is going down so much at the moment we are not sure if we want to buy so we are getting out al together - this is correct as I got a call from an estate agent who said that one house we looked at last week has been reduced from £225 to £185!!!!!!!!
    I think I will ring the citizens advice bureau in a few weeks and go from there and then also ring the PPI and tell them I want to make a claim

    To be fair, it is more difficult to read with caps at the start of each word. Not sure why but it is. It almost put me off reading.
    Glad you've managed to reinstate your insurance - hope it works out and you can claim. Good luck with the pregnancy.
