Endowment Shortfall Options

Not sure where to put this post?

I have a 68000 mortgage of which 23000 is repayment, the rest is interest only of 45000, i have an endowment policy with Scottish Widows which was meant to cover this amount.I have gone down the road of claiming misselling to no avail, went as far as the ombudsman etc.
Anyway as things stand i have received a red alert letter of Scottish Widows stating that the endowment has a potential shortfall of 17250 at growth of 4% 12250 at 6% and 5950 at 8%.The policy has 10 years and 9 months to go to maturity.Anyone know what by best option is?
