    Maybe, maybe not. You may be time barred. But you may be not.

    Who gave the advice and when were you first notified of a high risk of not hitting target? Who is th insurance company?

    it was sold by eagle star and was told about 2001 that it would not be hitting the targets at which it was sold to us.

    The timebar kicks in 3 years after you get a letter which says there is a "high risk" that the endowment will not repay the mortgage.Usually these letters had a "red alert" traffic light aspect.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
