    Hi there
    There is a ban on these, a set date I believe for 2010 but I also believe they have stopped selling these type of policies now.

    Single premiums are not being banned on all insurance policies. Indeed, in some cases it can be best advice and still suitable.

    Its only PPI that single premium is bad and should never have been done as there was no justification.

    Ok thanks, i am starting a new claim with welcome finance for my OH he took loan out in jan 09 with single premium, can i say that he was not asked the question if had any other insurances as he had 2 live policies with loans that we had paid off so this would have easily covered him for this loan with welcome. and also the fact it was a single premium charged to him.

    would i be able to state that he had 2 live insurances attached to loans that had been paid off at the time he took this loan out, should i send them proof of this , would it help his claim.

    I can't see why not.
    If you send proof send copies and not the originals.;)
