on my loan paper work it tells me how much a month i pay back on the loan and how much i pay a month for the insurance.I spoke too hsbc yesterday and they said i would have too take out a new loan if i wanted too get rid of the ppi this would mean a credit check on my file.is this right i dont understand why they cant just take the insurance off with out doing a new loan

the loan insurance is set up as a single premium

    Hi there

    Yes this seems to be the case when cancelling PPI after the cooling period I believe.

    However, if you do this, make sure the rate is that of the same or even better than the existing loan, where the repayments should be lower.

    Hi Dave

    To be honest this is very high and a big difference to your existing one.

    Did you take the insurance on with this new one?
    If so they would have added it to what I believe into a single one, but hopefully someone else will come along here and give their opinion on this.

    Do you mind me asking if you accepted this?
    Thanks.

    As it was sold as a single premium they can't just take the insurance off the loan because you will still be paying more interest. They can't fix this problem with the interest without taking out a new loan.

    If you claimed on it, it was useful to you therefore it wasn't really mis sold. You can cancel it, you just need to set up a new loan but you won't get a rebate because you have had a successful claim.

    That is a single premium, you are paying interest on the loan plus the PPI, if it was a monthly premium you wouldn't be.
