Barclays Life assurance for mortgage

comments_occasionally

Hi,
I had a Barclays Mortgage from 1991, paid off 2011. Had to take out Life cover from Barclays Life at the same time. And cancelled when mortgage paid off.
I didn't think this came into the area of reclaims, but now I'm worried in case it does and I'll miss it!

I cant find anything on forum about this, but I'm not very good at searching on it.
Does anyone happen to know?
Thanks.

Had to take out Life cover from Barclays Life at the same time.

Which makes sense seeing as you bought the mortgage in 1991. Life assurance was compulsory back then.

I didn't think this came into the area of reclaims,

What reclaims?

Does anyone happen to know?

What do you think they have done wrong?

I suppose I was thinking of mis-selling, as no option to their own product.
Thanks

They were allowed to back then. The rule changed at a later date but was not applied retrospectively.

It was similar with house insurance as well.
