    How is you being self-employed relevant?
  • like all other things you are not covered if you loose your job

    Are you sure it was life assurance and not some form of payment protection?
  • it does state barclays life assurance co ltd and that it was my life assured

    if you die you die. Self employment or employment doesnt matter. How do you think self employed would insure themselves for life assurance if they were not included?

    Seems quite sensible to have your life assured if you were paying the monthly mortgage payments on his behalf.
    could i possibly put a claim in for a miss sold policy?

    Where is there is a mis-sale?

    You indicated it in post #1 when you said your payments: "my payments of £46 per month"

  • So you paid for life cover at £47 per month for seven years?

    Were you a guarantor on your sons mortgage?

    A term of 7 years for a mortgage seems unusually small...

    What a charmless individual. People are trying to assist you and you respond bluntly like that.
    I'll end my input here as you clearly lack manners and gratitude.

    no sorry that £46 was the monthly payments on the assurance he paid his own mortgage in the 7 years,
