Insurance policy
We should just like to know if this is common practice.
Some fifteen years ago we took out a policy for a pension with life cover of �37,000.
Our premiums were �15 a month.
Last week we received a letter saying that unless we increased our premium to �37 a month,life cover would only be �20,000.
Does this seem fair? Are we to expect,in a few years time,when my husband nears 60,that we will receive another letter saying that unless we increase our premiums again our life cover will drop again ?
