    Thanks zx81 funny wording tho. Nice succinct answer!
  • Hi - i am looking for some help.
    I have been sent a letter from RBS informing that my PPI claim has been successful on mortgage insurance.
    However, whilst this was mis-sold, given the uncertainty around COVID-19, mortgage protection may be useful should i lose my job (50:50 chance). There does not appear to be an acceptance period on the letter, however i wondered if anyone knew how long the offer is valid for.
    Say for example my job feels a lot safer this time next year, would i still be able to accept the offer?
    I am nervous about accepting the offer, then losing my job and the (albeit mis-sold) policy is no longer available. 
    Comments welcome

    Generally 6 months.     

    It is quite nice of them as there have been occurrences where people have complained, had the policy voided and then suffered a claimable event wishing they had never voided the policy.

    Probably not.

    I am nervous about accepting the offer, then losing my job and the (albeit mis-sold) policy is no longer available. 

    Which does sort of make a mockery of you complaining and having your complaint upheld.

    Normally, the policy is voided once you have a successful complaint.
