    It is not PPI. It is life assurance. So, you cannot claim on PPI if you dont have PPI.

    If you can prove what you have said, then it was mis-sold. However, chances are you cannot prove any of it. In which case, they would look at whether you needed it or not. You mention "we" which suggests you have a partner/spouse. If so, you would have a need for it and any complaint would be rejected.

    The vast majority of people take out life assurance or life assurance with critical illness cover to protect their mortgage as it is common sense to do so.

    es i can prove as my sister was with me and she was buying a house at the same time as me and the same mortgage adviser sold her the same tipe of policy.

    So you both have it in writing that you had to have it? It has to be documentary proof. Word of mouth is not enough.
    at list he could give us a choice to by this tipe of policy but not he didnt he said that we Have to get Bupa policy other way we want get a mortgage

    He isnt meant to give you a choice. He is to tell you which he feels is best.
    and what is the worst i am still paing to Bupa fortune because i though i have to

    At least you havent died.
    if i decide to aply for ppi should i send form to tipton or bupa????

    Its not PPI. it is life assurance. Forget PPI. This has nothing to do with PPI.

    This is not in any way "proof" of what you say.You cannot use your sister's "similar" experience as evidence of wrong doing in your case. Your sister is hardly an impartial witness regardless.

    You appear very confused. If you had PPI (which you don't), you have to make a complaint that it was somehow mis-sold to you in order for it to be refunded.
    You do not "apply for PPI". PPI is not an acronym for wrong doing, it stands for Payment Protection Insurance. You have Life Insurance which is very difficult to show as mis-sold unless you are immortal.
