check to see if you have insurance on the loan. a few years ago i was made redundant but i had taken out insurance with the bank when i took out the loan.
Get onto your bank as soon as you can because it could take a while for the payment to come through from the insurance company. You will probably have to fill in a claim form every month with proof that you've been looking for work. (letters of refusal)
with the policy i had, the payment/cheque was made out to the bank itself, not to me personally. i presume this is standard practice.
