What constitutes single premium policies?

If a loan had 10 months to run at £184 a month, and the bank said that this didn't include PPI instalments - does that mean the policy was single premium - i.e.. if it's already paid before the loan is finished.
Just curious, my claim has been upheld, I'm just trying to completely understand why, as my reasons - while factual - were non-proveable.
Thanks,
Tanya

More numbers:
The loan was 60 months at £184
The PPI capital refund was £1549
The 'starting balance' on my credit record of the debt was £12589 (the two figures above added together)
I think the loan must have been for £8k, but a lot has happened since 2005, and I can't completely remember.0 -
That would indicate it was single premium.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only.

Ta, thought as much, and am assuming this is the real reason for it being upheld, but am not expert in these things.0

Single premium is a very common uphold reason. Your figure could potentially be an auto payout. At £1549 it would be below the floor limit for a number of providers.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only.

I think it was investigated, due to them taking the full 8 weeks, and also because I was upfront about my discharged trust deed - so they had a vested interest in investigating it, so they could keep the cash!0

How long they actually task means nothing except that they are busy and the fact that they paid out despite your Trust Deed would actually indicate that it was auto-paid.tanyadrhodes wrote: »I think it was investigated, due to them taking the full 8 weeks
The truth is you'll never know....0 -
Oh no, it's being set off, they're not paying out, which is fair enough.
And I know I'll not know the real reason, I'm just curious of nature!0
