Payment protection insurance is taken out against the payment of a debt i.e. it covers your repayments (whether it is a loan or a credit card debt) in the event that you lose your income due to unemployment, illness or accident. In the UK more than two million people aged between 20 and 64 years of age have been off work for a period of more than six months.
