Loan Payment Protection Plan – PPI Plan
In the UK, borrowers take out payment protection plan to secure their liabilities and to avoid missing payments on debts due to an unforeseen event leaving the consumer unable to pay.
What is a Loan Payment Protection plan?
A loan protection plan will meet loan repayments if you are unable to work because of accident, sickness or unemployment or if you leave work to become a carer. If you die, a payment protection plan will repay outstanding loan balance and may provide benefit if you go into hospital.
To be eligible for a payment protection plan you must at the start date:
- Be aged 18 or over and under 65 at the start of your loan agreement
- Be under age 70 when your loan agreement is due to be repaid,
- Be in paid work of at least 16 hours per week,
- Live in the United Kingdom, and be the first named person on you bank loan agreement.
- If your circumstances change during the course of your loan agreement, your employment status and age at the time of any claim for benefit determines which cover you are eligible for.
