just found out i had a protection insurance with a loan from 2005 which I paid up in 2007 the insurance only ran out on 5thaug 2010.
and have been made redundant 4 times since then the reason I found it was still running was an ending letter from cardiff pinnacle so when I call cardiff they tell me I can't claim for my time in hospital and policy doesn't count if your only out of work a matter of weeks but one time it would was when i was out of work for 6 months in 2010 and only pays £206 for those 5 months any way so can i claim for being misold £1200 policy and get the 5 months money also. help much appreciated.

    Hi, are you saying you claimed for 5 months once or could claim for the 5 months?

    I am going through the claim at the moment they are contacting my employers at the moment.

    If you are using it then there would be a bigger argument to get it classed as missold although people can have missold single premiums IF they would have taken out insurance but not by single premiums.

    In cases like this where the insurance has been used and if you won misselling they would take away the amount you have been paid and also work out how much you would have been paying each month if you bought insurance on a monthly basis I think and then pay the difference.
