Insure or not?

We are currenctly on a DMP with CCCS and I wondered if anyone has advice about mortgage protection insurance and decreasing term life assurance, we currently have both and pay premiums of £75 per month. We are considering cancelling these to put the money to the DMP or make overpayments each month to our creditors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Funnily enough, I'm having the same dilemma (not on a DMP though).

    Cancelling mine would help balance the books (things are really tight as no pay rise for 3 years now & cost of everything has gone up so much) but my job's not particularly secure.

    Also, I'd not be able to get another one, as there have been redundancies where I work so now wouldn't meet the "not knowing" question - so I've still got it.
