Insurance is useless when you don't use and a life saver when you need it.

I have income insurance for this very reason and I hope I don't need to use it.

People who chose to spend this money on a night out instead are unwise than thinking ahead

Yeah but I've had some great nights out and have still paid my mortgage off - never paid for insurance, well maybe for the odd prophylactic

Your parents can complain to the lender that they were mis-sold the mortgage. If dissatisfied with the response, they can take it to FOS.

I just feel that it was irresponsible lending as it was for a home renovation and they were previously mortgage free, it has caused a lot of stress and upset. ....

Why do you feel it is irresponsible to lend for home renovations? What renovations were carried out?

How old where they when the loan was taken? What potential for loss of income do you believe existed at that time? Why do you think it's relevant?

What was the house valued at when your parents took out the IO mortgage?
How much was the mortgage for?

For how long?

Why did they take out an IO mortgage and not a repayment?

What was it valued at when you took out a mortgage on it?
