What are PUF insurance or funded single premium insurance? Can they be cancelled?
When you take out life insurance linked to a mortgage, on many occasions the bank offers a financed single premium insurance, or PUF insurance. And they are nothing more than that: a single premium insurance whose amount is so high that it is financed, to pay it in installments.
In this way, the insurance fee (with the corresponding interest) is paid together with the mortgage payment. That is, the insurance debt is added to the mortgage debt.
PUF insurance cannot be cancelled, as it is not annual renewal insurance. They can only be cancelled by applying the right of withdrawal from life insurance.
According to current legislation, if you have taken out individual insurance for a duration of more than six months stipulated in the contract on your own life or that of a third party, you may terminate the contract without indication of reasons and without any penalty within 30 days of the date on which the insurer gives you the policy or provisional coverage document.
That is, you have 30 days to cancel a PUF insurance or funded single premium insurance.
Remember that you are not obliged to take out any insurance with the bank when you apply for a credit operation or a mortgage.
