Well, like many products, it is a matter of it is right for some, but not everyone. For some people the banks could be forgiven for enforcing the purchase of the payment protection insurance, whilst for others it is nothing more than an expensive outlay. Which of these categories do you fall into?
Before you even consider any payment insurance, have a careful look through the terms and conditions and this might help you work out whether you fit into the group that that cover can help, or whether you are definitely in the group that the insurance will not help. The terms and conditions can quite often rule out a lot of people from ever benefiting from the cover. For example, some people have been sold insurances that will not pay out to those who are self employed. Just because you are self employed the inclusion of this rule does not stop certain lenders from trying to sell the insurance policy to you! So be warned and make sure that none of the exclusions apply to you, else the premiums will be a waste of cash.
If you have checked all of the exclusions do not apply to you then maybe, just maybe, it is time to look at the policy and see if it is for you. If you know that you will definitely have no problem paying it off, then do you really need such a policy? For example if you are taking a 0% loan to purchase some furniture, you might be forced into a PPI agreement. They can be added to policies even when you already have the cash to pay off the entire loan at the end of the introductory term.
Again, this is a reason of mis-selling. If you already have enough funds then why do you need to protect the payment? Also, if you know that your income is secured, then although you qualify for PPI protection, why take it out? If you know that you will never need to claim, save the cash.
Conversely for those that suspect that they might not be able to meet future payments, again this could be a reason for not being eligible for full protection. If there is the chance of redundancy on the horizon or you are a seasonal worker, then the lender will assume there is a good chance of you needing to claim and then probably disqualify you from protection. How kind of them!
Overall, everything is stacked in the favour of the lenders. If you seem to have a stable job, but are worried about it in the long term, then it might be worth looking at PPI. But be very careful that you do fully qualify for all the conditions.
