endowment

Options
i got mortgage in 1994, though an independant advisor. It's with the Abbey and i have an endowment on it. At the time i just agreed to what was offered as i was desparate to leave my ex-bf.

I don't really understand about endowments, and i never really took much notice of the letters sent once a year, so i'm not sure if it will shortfall or not.

The long and the short is i have been unemplyed since Nov and i need to find some money, so is it worth me sending of a mis-sold claim? I am still paying into the endowmwent so should i cash it in as well?

Any advice would be greatley received!!

    That isnt grounds for mis-sale.

    i'm not saying that is. But when i got it, i can't remember being explained what would happen if it had a shortfall....it was more pushed that it would pay the mortgage amount and i would get a lump sum as well.
