HSBC Professional studies loan

Hello
I was told i was not able to take the above loan if I did not have life cover ~ is that legal? I am nearly at the end of paying off £7.500 over about 7 years.
Not sure if I should try and reclaim insurance cost?
Thanks

    Hi there

    You could try asking for a copy of the agreement but this may be difficult to retrieve if passed 6 years, no harm in asking though.

    May I ask if this is still active, or settled?

    If still active you should be able to get some paperwork from them, or if you have settled within the last 6years also.;)

    Good luck, and please post up for help when your ready.
