to sell endowment or run through?

I have a standard life endowment which is due to end Nov 2011, the cover was for £23,000 we have overpaid like everyone else and now owe £16,000 on the mortgage.SL are quoting min payout of £13,700 how do I estimate a final payout figure? Or is it worth selling the endowment now,to help pay off the mortgage I would then put cash to this to fully pay off the mortgage.As it is only appox 5 years left is it worth selling or stick with it? could any one offer any advice as I'm afraid I don't know agreat deal about money issues. I do realise £16,000 is very small compared to others but to me it is an issued needling me! Thanks for any help this is the first time i have posted a thread and am rather nervous about it all!

  • What is your monthly payment, the surrender value of the policy and the
    projected final values that SL are required to send you, either anually or every 2 years ?
