Ban Interest charges on Insurance policies paid, up front, monthly or quarterly

Additional Information

Customers of insurance policies should not be charged interest on periodic (monthly/quarterly) payment plans as they are NOT loans. They are paid up front whether that be for a month or a year.

Many insurance companies are charging around 20% APR for direct debit payments of their insurance policies as many households find a single payment onerous.

Insurance policies are mandatory requirements for the majority of home and car owners. Policies are often reviewed and renewed annually and a contract agreed to.

However, insurance policies are pro rata paid over days or months as can be seen by the repayment of the policy fees in the event of a cancellation.

The practice of charging any level APR for a service (coverage for the future) that has not been yet provided should be banned.
