    You can complain that any insurance was mis-sold, but you have to be able to show this was the case.

    What year was the insurance first sold to you?

    Since regulation of insurance sellers only took place in 2005, you probably face an uphill battle.

    Do you have your own documentation pertaining to this?

    That will certainly help.

    On what basis do you propose to complain?

    You'll need to be able to provide documentary proof of any such work entitlement and just believing you had to take the insurance is not a valid mis-selling reason.

    You could complain if you were TOLD you had to have the insurance when it was actually optional. Even then, that's a weak hearsay complaint for which you can't provide evidence.

    Your main obstacle, though, is that your complaint will be pre-regulation.
