    Do you mean claim or do you mean complain?

    If you mean complain, you can try yes but records may be gone due to the time so unless you have your own copies it might not go anywhere. You'd need to complain to whoever sold you the MPPI but given how valuable MPPI is as it's protecting your most expensive asset you'd need some compelling provable complaint reasons

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Confused. The mortgage was paid up 12 years ago and you now want to make a claim on the insurance policy?
    You can only claim if something has happened that the policy covers - ie a claimable event.

    I can only think you mean, you wish to complain that the policy was somehow mis-sold to you. Is that correct?
    To do this you'd need to make an allegation of wrong-doing against whoever sold you the policy.

    If you want to retrospectively claim on the policy like if you lost your job you can certainly try, just ring them and ask though no guarantee 12 years after it ended they will pay up - like trying to claim for car repair 10 years after you crashed!
