Endowment but no house- claim/sell? Help please

I have an endowment but never used it to buy a house as originally planned.
Would I still be able to put in a claim? It is probably too late as I just assumed that as it is not connected to a house I couldn't claim.

I also need to know if it is worth keeping or should I cash in or sell.

It is with Lincoln financial group. I can't see that there are any bonuses.
Taken out Dec 1988 ends Dec 2013.
Sum assured £30,000
Monthly payment £43.52
Surrender value £10,462.00
Maturity projection.
4% £15,100
6% £17,600
8% £20,500

    pre-sold endowments are virtually always held up as a valid complaint. What usually happens is the premiums are refunded and interest added.

    Put your complaint in now as this is a genuine mis-sale.
