Endowment Policy Cash In

Hi, I currently have debt problems and am pretty sure I want to cash in my endowment policy.
I originally took it out to cover my mortgage but about ten years ago changed to a repayment mortgage but kept the endowment running.
It's due to mature in 2020 and they project it to mature at 24k. I got a surrender value last week and they have given me an approximate figure of 11K. I pay £65 a month in.

Is getting the surrender value from the provider the best way of selling?

    you may be able to sell if it is a with profits plan. However, if it is unit linked you cant.
