What is loan protection insurance?
Loan protection insurance is a type of income protection insurance designed to cover your loan repayments if you lose your job or find yourself unable to work due to an accident or illness. It can cover various types of debt, including car finance, credit cards, mortgages and more.
What risks does your policy cover?
A loan protection policy covers you for three major main issues that could leave you in financial detriment:

First, you need to choose how much cover you need want. This is usually the exact amount of your loan payment, let's say £300.00 as an example. Once you have chosen the amount you will need to choose your waiting period, this is usually 30 days, 60 days or sometimes 90 days. The waiting period is how long you have to wait until the insurer will start paying the money to you. The longer the waiting period the cheaper the policy, the shorter the waiting period the dearer the policy.
You then get the opportunity to choose the term of the policy, it could be 12 months, 24 months 26 months, again this is usually linked to how long you have taken out the loan.
Once you have chosen this, you can continue to make sure you are eligible to make a claim, should the need arise. You can do this by answering the eligibility questions of the policy, and if you answer these correctly you will be able to proceed. Unfortunately if you do not, then you will not be able to continue.
Finally, you will need to carefully read through the policy wordings to make sure that you understand the terms and conditions, and most importantly, the terms and conditions you will need to meet to make a claim.
It is extremely important that you completely understand exactly what loan protection policy you have purchased. We have a team of trained specialists that will be happy to answer any of your questions, or do the hard work for you. Simply email info@firststopinsurancebrokers.com
Accident
If you were to injure yourself (either at work, home or anywhere else) and you are signed off work for a period of time, you would be eligible to make a claim. Your monthly claim pay-out, also known as your monthly benefit amount, will replace your loss of salary and allow you to maintain your loan repayments.
Sickness
If you become ill, and need to have surgery or extensive treatment, this could lead to you taking a substantial amount of time off work. Unexpected sickness can cause a tremendous amount of stress in itself, without the added financial concern that comes with loss of income. Your loan protection policy will ensure that your repayments continue to be met until you are well enough to return to work.
Unemployment
Finally, you could be made redundant due to any reason, such as bankruptcy, administration, mergers, acquisitions or cutbacks, and you would be eligible to make a claim. As long as you haven't left your job of your own free will, or been sacked due to disciplinary issues, you will be able to receive your monthly benefit amount to cover your loss of earnings until you return to work or your term length is finished.
Whatever the reason for your loan, by taking out a loan insurance policy you are safeguarding yourself financially, and protecting yourself from the unexpected. Not taking loan protection insurance is a risk to yourself and your family should you have one, as generally it is your family the comes to the rescue when things go wrong finally. If you do not have that luxury, then there is even more of a reason to obtain protection.
Why increase your debt with further borrowing when for a small monthly cost then you can obtain the correct protection in place to cover those financial shortfalls.
Hence the reason why I say that if you have taken a loan then there is no question that you should have a loan protection policy.
They cover the monthly loan repayment for any unforeseen loss of income.
What can differ is the level of cover that each policy offers you, this obviously reflects the price but can give you some added extra benefits. Some policies will provide free legal protection which will help in consumer disputes port identity theft, even employment tribunals can be covered with this policy.
Also, back to work support could be another benefit, this is offered when you may need help returning to the job market, CV writing, interview techniques and general presentation skills.
Some policies may include hospitalisation benefit which covers you should you end up in hospital or waiver of premium in claim.
Again, these are all added benefits that can be found within different types of loan protection policies and should help you decide which policy best suits your personal circumstances.
First of all you should start with the basic main points of any loan protection policy, the amount of cover you need monthly, the initial exclusion period of any unemployment policy, the waiting period and finally length of time the policy should pay out for.
Once you have these basic principles then you can obtain some quotes, do not forget that these products are linked to your age, unfortunately the older that you are the higher the cost.
Once you have the costs you can go to the next level of detail which is to look at all the other benefits and terms and conditions one policy offers and others do not. This will mean some detailed reviews of the policy wordings to really get a full comparison.
It will take time, but by completing your research and comparing a variety of quotes, you will be able to purchase the correct, most comprehensive and competitive loan protection policy that is available.

There are far too many reasons as to why you would take out a loan, however there is one thing that remains constant… The loan will always need to be repaid. Month in and month out, until the term you have chosen ends. If you were to lose your regular income due to accident, sickness or unemployment, would you be able to keep up with your loan repayments, along with your other monthly outgoings? Missing even one repayment can affect your credit rating, or even worse, lead to your new car or purchase to become repossessed. All too quickly you can find yourself in a situation that spirals out of control, leading to further stress and financial difficulties.
Having a loan protection insurance plan in place protects you from this, and ensures your monthly commitments are covered if the worse was to happen. It provides an invaluable peace of mind, so you can relax in the knowledge that your loan repayments are protected from the unexpected.
