The cover can provide you with a tax-free monthly income which enables you to pay your commitments without worry while you get back to work. The period of time you are usually covered for is typically up to 12 months, though with some policies it is up to 24 months, which is usually more than enough time for you to get back on your feet.

However the policy is only a good buy if you choose it and wisely. Sadly the industry has been blighted by the negative publicity surrounding with the high being the main culprits when it comes to selling over-priced, sometimes unsuitable, cover.

If you want to protect yourself with loan then you should shop around and go to a standalone provider. A specialist who only deals in payment protection will be able to offer you the cheapest premiums along with giving you the best advice regarding the policy. One of the biggest findings by the Financial Services Authority's recent investigation into the sector was that policies were being mis-sold with the consumer having no hope of claiming on it should they actually come out of work. The majority of times the reason why the policy had been mis-sold was due to the exclusions within the policy which the consumer wasn't aware of. High street lenders have very little knowledge when it comes to selling and this is why it is always safer to buy from an independent provider.

So, is loan payment protection a good buy? Yes it can certainly can be, but only by looking carefully at what the policy offers and determining if it is suitable for your needs.

The biggest monthly outgoing that the majority of us have to be able to maintain each month is the mortgage. If you cannot keep up with this payment then the chances of losing your home are great. The lender will send a letter if you miss just one payment. If you miss another and do not contact them and cannot come to an agreement to continue and catch up on the arrears, then repossession will be just a matter of weeks away. You can ensure that you would not have to worry about anything like this if you take out either as or income payment protection.

Mortgage cover as redundancy protection would do just what the name suggests. It would allow you to insure your mortgage payment up to so much and then this would be the tax-free sum that you would get back if and when you needed to put in a claim. If you go with a provider that offers age based premiums then the younger you are the bigger savings you will be able to make on the premiums and in some cases you would be able to get your premiums for up to 40% less. Mortgage cover is usually offered when taking the borrowing with the lender. However premiums are know to be high if you take it added onto the policy.

Income payment protection can be taken to insure not only your mortgage but also any other essential such as loan repayments or credit card repayments. It also covers outgoings such as grocery, which are needed for the family to be able to function and maintain their current lifestyle. You are able to take cover for up to a certain amount of your income and then fall back on the payment. If you just needed to cover loan and credit card repayments then you could look at loan payment protection. This would just provide you with the income you paid out in loan repayments each month and would be enough to stop you from getting into debt.

Your redundancy protection would start to payout from between the 30th and the 90th day of you being unemployed and some providers backdate to the first day of you becoming unemployed. Following this you would receive an income each month for between 12 and 24 months which is usually enough to have found work again. However despite the fact of whether you were back in work or not after this period, the policy would cease. Checking the exclusions that all providers add-into their cover is imperative as this will determine whether cover would be suitable. Providing you take the information that all ethical payment protection specialists supply and compare it, then you will have something to use as a safety net if you should become one of the statistics of redundancy.Simon Burgess is Managing Director of the award-winning British Insurance, a specialist provider of redundancy protection.]]> Consider Loan Payment Protection Insurance http://www.artwoo.com/article/consider-loan-payment-protection-insurance http://www.artwoo.com/article/consider-loan-payment-protection-insurance#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:29:40 +0000 payment protection insuranceloan payment protectionloan repaymentsdeferment periodprotection specialistscitizens advicelenders http://www.artwoo.com/article/consider-loan-payment-protection-insurance payment protection insurance and taken out a policy.

insurance works by you taking out the insurance for a premium. If you go with a standalone specialist who offers payment protection this is the cheapest way to get cover. However, when borrowing, the high street lender will try to get you to take out the protection in the loan.

All lenders will look at your credit history and missed payments means there will be a mark on your file. Lenders are reluctant to approve loans if you have defaulted on a previous loan.
