alternative PPI

Anyone know the kind of companies I should be looking at to get extra insurance for sickness accident & unemployment to cover my cc's so I can cancel the PPI on those.

I pay around £25 a month at the moment just on norwich union, which I took out when I took out my mortgage but as far as I know (I have to call them) it only covers my monthly mortgage amount. Should I just try & increase this?

Thanks

    Have a look at Martin's article here, it should help. Plus there are some links at the end to companies that do PPI.

    That looks like mortgage cover?

    I'm after something that will cover the CC cards as I have PPI on Egg & barclays and for the mortgage at the moment,

    I just contacted Norwich union re my accident sickness & unemployment cover (see good news thread about this as well)

    For an extra £10 a month I can get an extra £200 a month cover if I need to claim.

    Considering I pay egg £30 & I have PPI on barclays but not sure how much, I think this is a good deal.

    The £200 would cover my min payments on both cards.

    What do you think?
