MSE News: £60m refund for mortgage protection hike victims

Suzyb_3

Me and my partner have mortgage protection insurance for sickness and unemployment but the mortgage is in my name only. Would the insurance cover the mortgage payments if my partner became ill or lost his job?

Our policy was increased this year and we maintained it for a couple of months. We then decided to shop around and found this cheaper so we cancelled out original policy.

Will we still be eligible to receive the increased amount back or not?

I'm looking for MPPI but having read the horror stories I'd like to find a decent trust worthy company that hasn't hiked its prices and won't in the future. Does anyone know one please?

Just had a letter from my MPPI provider saying they are to increase my premium fron £33.00 month to £54.00 month because I am now a year older. I wasn't told this when I bought the policy.
Sent them a letter complaining. Can anyone assist / advise

Thanks

Hi there

That is quite a lot isn't it?:eek:

Hopefully Dunstonh will be along soon to advise on this for you.

If you still have hold of the policy - terms & conds, it may be worth also checking them out as well.
Good luck.;)

The increase on price due to age is unusual for MPPI plans. Perhaps you bought a yearly renewable version. At the end of the day, if its in the terms that they can do it then it should be allowable. It is normally quite clear when it is though.

I've got MPPI with Pinnacle that increased from £25 to £40 in June 2008. They've just told me I don't qualify for a refund as the increase was in 2008 and not 2009. Anyone know if there is a way around this?
