:( Mortgage Payment Protection and dismissal Help please!

Hi, I've been dismissed end of november. I've paid for my Mppi for 8 years but I had just moved out of the mppi property in the first weekend of september for the new school year before buying a new property (offer now accepted)... My mortgage will be ported to the new house. The issue is that the insurance company is asking for a<3 months old utility bill... I do not have one since it was rented to a tenant as I've also been renting at the same time... Any solution? If i could get hold of a utility bill would the insurer also check my current address from the electoral roll/ credit report type of database?

    If just giving a utility bill is enough how should I go about it?

    ask them what other things they will accept.

    Thank you. I suspect (know :) ) they will be too happy to say that if my last bill ends mid novemberand I am dismissed end of november i would not be covered... Even though i ve paid on my mppi for 8 years... That's why i am quite desperate and looking for any possible solution... Do people customise their utility bills and get away with it? Is the risk very high?
    When paying a claim is the current address checked through other sources like electoral roll/credit report/192 type database.... Life is so unfair...

    And as discussed earlier, to make it worst, my current address (on some databases) since september is not the one where I have my mortgage What a nightmare

    MPPI claims are normally predicated on there being "no fault" involved in your unemployment. Was the reason for your dismissal related to your conduct?

    Since the insurer has started the legal aid to sue my employer I am not sure if I should cut my losses now or try to make it work at any cost

    Yes, after 20 years I was dismissed for performance related reasons, I am pretty sure I will win, not too worried about this. It's just if I can be covered by my ijsurer that worries me.
