    Did you get this promise in writing?

    Because I think if you didn't you have no chance of getting any money back.
  • No,i am just curious as to it's final value,it may not be important to yourself but it is to me.
    The person that bought it made a gentlemans agreement to give us a lump sum on it's maturity,but then reneged by saying he had sold in 6 months after getting it from us,only for us to find out he put it in his Fathers name.


    Thankyou Kirton,we have kissed the chance of ever getting money from this goodbye,I just wish to know if there is any way I could find it's value on maturity,call it curiousity if you like.


    I don't particularly want to go into detail,but this does involve family and I do have a personal hold on him,though I didn't want to state that here.

    A devious person would phone up standard life and pretend to be him. Claim to have mislaid the bank statements, give the policy number details etc and ask what the payout was.

    He wouldn't have received the mortgage promise extra on a bought policy.
