Mortgage Maximum Advance lnsurance

Options
In 1990 I took out a Repayment mortgage with Nationwide where I borrowed 95% of the purchase price, this meant that for the first year of repayments an insurance premium was added to the repayments as my deposit was so small. I believe this insurance was to cover any losses the Nationwide may suffer should the property then be repossessed at a later date and sold at a loss.
In 1995, I sold the property at less than I paid and subsequently had to pay a figure in the region of £6,000 to clear the Repayment mortgage. I then took out an Interest only mortgage again with Nationwide for the new property.
My question is this, as I was paying the insurancece premium should I not have also been covered from any losses subsequently suffered and therefore not have had to pay the £6,000 to Nationwide ? Also, as I was taking out a new mortgage with them could this £6,000 not have been added to my new mortgage ? Would this qualify as a possible PPI claim against Nationwide as this insurance was not voluntary ?
Thanks for any help received

    No. The indemnity policy was to protect them. It wasn't to prevent house price drops.

    Your first paragraph pretty accurately describes what the MIG covered, so knowing that, its not clear why you think the policy should cover you for a completely different scenario.

    You have no hope whatsoever of getting anywhere with a complaint on the basis you outline I'm afraid.
