    It depends completely upon the terms of the loan agreement and / or the PPI policy.

    Have you read the loan agreement or the policy small print?

    You do realise that the PPI only covers you for 5 years dont you but you pay for it over the whole of the loan term?

    E.g. £11,000 PPI, circa £100 a month on a 25 year loan = £30,000

    Irrespective of the cashback (assuming you never miss a payment) it's still costing you the best part of £20,000.

    Get it reclaimed, it's not worth the paper its written on.
