The insurer of this Mortgage payment protection policy is AmTrust Europe Limited (AEL)
Depending upon the type and level of cover you have chosen, this policy can cover your Income for up to 12 months per claim, if you become unable to work as a result of Accident and Sickness or unemployment, provided that you either: have a residential mortgage in place, own your own home outright or are applying for a residential mortgage on your main residence.
You can choose from the following types of cover: Unemployment & Accident and Sickness or Accident and Sickness only.
The policy maximum monthly benefit is £2,000 and you must not exceed 65% of your normal monthly income.
It’s easy to apply online, simply ensure you are eligible to apply for cover and make sure the policy meets your needs and demands. Once we receive your submitted application it will be processed the next working day. If accepted by the insurer your documents are then issued the same day.
There are some things that you are not covered for. These are generally anything you already knew about when applying for the policy or anything that is caused by deliberate or illegal acts on your part. If you select a level of cover that includes Involuntary Unemployment / Redundancy cover you need to be aware that all such policies have something called an Initial Exclusion Period (IEP), which means that you are not able to claim for Involuntary Unemployment, if it occurs within the IEP period or even if you are made aware of the possibility of Redundancy within that time. Full details can be found in the policy wording. We urge you to read through this document to ensure the policy is suitable for you.
The policy is a monthly paid policy, which means that you are always in control, should your needs or circumstances change you can cancel the policy at any time.
The premiums for future years will depend upon the forecasts of costs to the Insurer of settling claims and changes in taxation and inflation. The Insurer will not seek to recover, in future years, the costs of any claims already paid out. Changes to your premium will not depend on your individual circumstances but on the cost of overall claims.

Paymentcare Mortgage Protector is a Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance (MPPI) policy designed to ensure that your monthly mortgage repayments as well as associated costs are taken care of each month in the event that you are off work as a result of an Accident, Sickness (disability) or involuntary Unemployment / involuntary redundancy. The cover is sometimes referred to as ASU cover.
If you were off work as a result of a serious accident or for a period of sickness how would you continue to make your monthly mortgage repayments? What if it was announced that you were to be made unemployed as a result of involuntary redundancy? Would you have enough savings to manage?
If you have an existing policy with another provider, you can apply to transfer your cover to Paymentcare if you feel the policy we offer meets your demands and needs and you meet the eligibility requirements.
Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance is considered a lower risk as it is linked to an existing mortgage debt. The mortgage provider would have undertaken extensive credit checks before approving your mortgage. The Mortgage Payment Protection Insurer has the advantage of knowing that extensive credit checks have been undertaken, which isn't the case with Short Term Income Protection Insurance.
Your premiums are collected monthly by Direct Debit. You choose a day that the premiums are to be collected monthly from your account.
