Life Assurance mis-sold - can I claim?

Back in 2002 I was pressured to take on life assurance for a mortgage via financial advisers. I explained that I was still paying into an endowment from a previous mortgage and that this included life cover. They insisted I needed another one which I paid into for 10 years.

Can I claim money back on this?
Thanks.

    It is three years prior to regulation.

    Most people are underinsured. Did the endowment policy cover all your financial needs or did it leave a shortfall?

    If you are unsure of that, then a really quick and dirty way to get an idea of the ballpark then it's around 15x income Plus the amount of any debts. Were you more than that?
