    Why have you got that impression?

    What parts of the TMPP has he got?

  • Because my mother in law works at Halifax and has told me that it doesn't cover self employed people, I was just wondering if this is correct?

    I'm not a hundred percent shaw do you know how I would find that out, he has got 4 all together?

    it does cover self-employed, but he needs to involuntarily stop trading ie go bust to claim the unemployment. there are no issues claiming on the sickness part.

    also self-employment doesnt matter on the life and critical illness part.
  • So would you say he his entitled to claim anything back then or not?

    It would apply potentially apply to the MPPI element. Not the other elements.

    did they issue you with a demands and needs statement? it just depends on what information you were given.
  • I'm not sure what information or things like that!

    I just need to know where to start really

    Thanks for your help

    just send a complaint letter to halifax saying he believes it was mis-sold as he was self-employed. they will investigate it and come back to you.
  • Is it as easy as that, do you know of I try and fail
    Can I then get a company to investigate this for me! I have got the complaint letter from
    Martin Lewis site is this the correct one
