Finance Quick Answers
What is credit life insurance?
Credit life insurance pays off your debt if you die or
if your co-borrower dies. Sometimes it also will pay off
the debt if one of you becomes disabled. It is usually
not a good deal, compared with a good term life
insurance policy. It is often much more expensive; term
life insurance can provide the same protection and give
your survivors much more flexibility in how the
settlement is spent.
