Junk insurance refers to additional insurance policies that offer little to no benefit to the purchaser. These policies might not align with your needs, be nearly impossible to claim, or charge for non-existent services.
This issue is widespread, with the Consumer Law Action Centre in Australia estimating over $60 billion in junk insurance sold in the last decade. Many consumers find themselves with policies they can’t use or weren’t even aware they had purchased, spanning across banks, car dealerships, retailers, and insurance companies.
Junk insurance can manifest in several forms, making it challenging to recognize without expert knowledge. Some prevalent examples include:
Consumer Credit Insurance (CCI): Supposedly safeguards you if you’re unable to meet loan payments due to job loss, injury, etc. However, it’s frequently an unnoticed addition to credit cards and loans.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP): Intended to cover the difference between an insurance payout and the remaining car finance in case of a write-off, yet often it’s an unnecessary extra expense.
Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI): Offers extra coverage for vehicle parts after the manufacturer’s warranty expires, but its benefits are typically deferred and potentially redundant.
Mortgage Protection Insurance: Aims to cover mortgage payments in the event of the borrower’s death before full repayment, yet often criticized for its low payout levels.
Despite their seemingly useful coverages, the practical value of these insurances can be minimal, leading many to purchase under pressure or misunderstanding.
The good news is that if you’ve acquired such policies, you might qualify for a refund. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has successfully reclaimed over $160 million for consumers affected by junk insurance. If you suspect you’re eligible for a refund, learn more about how our services can assist in recovering your funds.

How Can I Identify If I’ve Been Sold Junk Insurance?
Understanding whether you’ve been sold junk insurance can initially be challenging due to its often subtle inclusion in contracts filled with technical jargon and lengthy terms that can easily overwhelm the average person. To determine if your policy falls into this category, take your time reviewing your contracts. Seek clarification on any part that’s unclear or seems overly complicated. You might need to conduct a thorough review of all your insurance documents, even if you’ve previously discussed them with a broker.
Look for explanations of terms or phrases that aren’t immediately clear and ensure you fully grasp your contract’s scope. Don’t hesitate to seek external advice to decode industry-specific language. Verify that the policy meets your needs and understand precisely what you expect from an insurance policy before agreeing to anything.
