Endownment confusion

Hi

Can anyone tell me in simple lay man's terms how i go about claiming compensation for an endownment?

we took the first one out in 1987 and after moving house in 1998 we added another endownment (foolishly!) can i claim compo for both? the first is with cis the second is with churchill.

we are currently looking to change mortgages to hopefully save a few pounds each month and dont know whether to just cash both endownments in and have a repayment or whether to carry on with them.

Regards
Dolphin

    Hi dolphin

    The Which site is a good place to start for the complaint.

    https://www.endowmentaction.co.uk

    You could have a problem with the first one as it's pre-regulation(1988), depending on who sold it to you.

    If an IFA, forget it.If a building society much more hopeful.

    Post some info about the policies and we can see if they are worth keeping

    Guaranteed sum assured
    Bonuses so far
    Surrender value
    Monthly premium
    Maturity date
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
