CREDIT LIFE AND DISABILITY INSURANCE

Credit life insurance, a form of decreasing term insurance, protects creditors such
as banks. The borrower pays the premium, generally as part of the credit transaction,
to cover the outstanding loan in the event he or she dies. The face value of a policy
decreases as the loan is paid off until both equal zero. When loans are paid off early,
premiums for the remaining term are returned to the policyholder. Credit accident
and health, a similar product, provides a monthly income in the event the borrower
becomes disabled.

Questions Your Clients Should Consider:

  1. How would they meet their obligations during an extended disability period?
  2. What percentage of their income would they receive if you were off work due
    to sickness or injury?
  3. What impact would their death have on the financial security of their family?
  4. Doesn't it make sense to protect all the things they worked so hard to get?

Protection Plan

The Payment Protection Plan is designed to provide a benefit for your clients that will
pay their loan in full in case of death and to make payments to their creditor if they are
unable to work due to sickness or accident.

The benefit Protection Plan will protect your client's initial investment in the loan and,
more importantly, the disability coverage will protect their good credit.  Payments are
made directly to their creditor and therefore are not taxable.

Any individual, regardless of the hazards of his/her occupation, who is actively
employed at the time the indebtedness is incurred, subject to policy age limitations
and health requirements may qualify for the protection plan.

If your client is unable to work because of a sickness or accident, the plan pays your
regular installment payments for as many days or months as he or she is disabled,
limited only by the waiting period in the policy and the number of months of your loan
contract.  If your client's loan is current, and they die before their debt is fully paid, the
plan will pay off the entire unpaid balance, subject to policy  limits.

The cost  of the plan is not more than a few dollars each month, depending on your
client's balance and its included in their loan's monthly payment.
