The payment protection will have no bearing whatsoever on whether or not your loan application is accepted.
When a credit underwriter reviews your application they cannot take into consideration the fact you have taken out payment protection. They can only review the risk of the application based on the factors provided and are told to disregard any payment cover.
If you think about it you are hoping you are more likely to be accepted as with the payment cover the bank are more likely to get their money back should you fall into financial difficulties. However, this would be considered as irresponsible lending on the part of the bank.
Just as a note to my post, I am basing my comments on my experience within a major high street bank. Whether the payment protection factor may sway a less scrupulous lender I do not know...0
