I've had mortgage repayment insurance for the past 20 odd years and used it in 2001/2, I can say my experience was very positive, maybe they were still a building society then!

Firstly, I'm not a Halifax-Basher. As a mortgage company, I've found them first-rate, very approachable and helpful if you're going through a rough patch financially.
