Good question Whu, but paying for insurance monthly will not be constituted as taking credit.

Hi
This i a common question and the answer is that because of the way that the insurance s paid you are always "ahead" in terms of insurance used and insurance paid.You do not actually owe money so you are actually not taking any credit.If you fail to make a payment the company cancels your insurance before you owe them anything.
IT,s a little bit like "pay as you go"

I wanted to pay for my insurance monthly but when I advised them I was BR (as I was advised to do) I was told I had to pay in one lump sum.

The majority of insurance companies are quite happy for you to pay monthly.

It is not classed as credit. If you miss a payment, then the insurance is normally cancelled.

All of my insurance is paid monthly.
