I.F & SAR request returned

edited 20 December 2009 at 4:44PM in Reclaim PPI & other insurance
I applied online for a £9000 loan in 2003, but then I consoidated in 2005 and moved it elsewhere.

Had SAR request details back from IF, and amid the 200+ sheets of A4, I can find no where where I specifically signed anything agreeing to PPI. The main sheet which I had to sign and return only required 1 signature from me, and did not mention that it was a confirmation of acceptance for the PPI, although the the PPI was mentioned further up the sheet. It said I had asked for PPI, and that I should sign the direct debit mandate from Pinnacle Insurance to allow them to take the premiums, but a copy of this mandate was not included with the SAR. And I don't ever recall signing anything to say..."Yes! i want the PPI!" If I did, they didnt include it.

My gripe is that the box was pre-ticked when I applied on the website, and I was not asked to confirm whether I wanted the PPI, nor sent details with my welcome pack either. At no point did anyone from from IF contact me to explain the PPI and find out if I would be eligible. I know this as there is a log of all telephone calls and the toppic of said calls included in the SAR details.

Should I pursue.....?
