Protection Watch... with Kevin Carr (Nov 2012)

PROTECTION WATCH

clock

Our resident protection detective, Kevin Carr, runs the rule over five developments in the last month…

4 Zombies

Can zombies protect their families? Probably not, given they are dead or pretty close to it. Check out this new video clip from Confused.com, which takes a light hearted look at the links between zombies and life insurance.

Verdict: Promising lead

5 Claims chasers

I'm still receiving calls and texts telling me how I can claim lots of money for all the horrible things people haven't actually done to me. Most of us are not huge fans of such companies, but a thought struck me the other day: if organisations and decision makers did the right thing in the first place, these companies wouldn't exist. What I mean is, if some lenders hadn't blatantly mis-sold payment protection insurance, and if employers treated those who had accidents with respect, most complaints wouldn't exist.

Verdict: Back to the lab

Kevin Carr is chief executive of The Protection Review and managing director of Kevin Carr Consulting
