Help reclaiming Countrywide Morgage PI

Hi
I hope that someone may be able to give advice on the following

I've been paying Countrywide £16.90/month for an Accident,Sickness/redundancy insurance policy since 1996. I have discovered that as a civil servant I did not need this and I have asked that they refund the premiums.

Countrywide say that the onus is on me to prove that it was missold.
They have advised that they do not keep any paperwork pre 2000 and that their financial consultant would not have sold any insurance that was not relevant.

I'm now thinking that maybe I should approach the FSA but Countrywide state that they were not governed by them during 1996.

Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
