Hi Guys/Girls

I have recently bought a new car which i pick up on friday, financed by the dealers finance package.

I want to take out PPI out on it seperately, is it as easy as approaching an independent insurer and providing them with the relevent details of the finance arrangement?

Thanks

    yes in simple terms google
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Thanks.

    I thought so.

    With it being dealer finance the loan is secured on the car. I can still have PPI on the loan in the same way as a personal unsecured loan cant I?

    That might sound daft but I just want to ensure I can.

    Cheers
