I have borrowed £11500 from them over 60 months and they added a charge of just over £1800 onto the agreement for the accident sickness unemployment cover. This also had a 6 month excess. I always new it was expensive but that figure is just silly. I called them to make them send me an agreement without it and the guy on the phone thought I was out of my tree for not wanting it. And then there was that thing on telly last night where loyds tsb flogged this cover to a blind man who was unemployed and living on benefits. Luckily for him though the telly made them refund his insurance and let him pay the loan back at £1 per month.
To get any benefit back from it I would have to be out of work for 6 months before they would start paying my £230. Then they would have to do this for another 8 months before the claim was more than the premium. Plus all this time I would have to be on job seekers allowance who would make me get a job stacking shelves which presumably would put an end to my claim anyway!
