Student Credit Cards Lloyds TSB

Hi There,

Just wondering if anyone can help with PPI.

I took out a credit card whilst in uni with lloyds tsb in 2007.

I wracked up about £1000 on it and it was sent to a debt collectors agency (BLS collections) as I couldnt pay it back at the time. Im now paying this back and have been for a while paying £25 a month, just been increased to £35 per month. Currently got about £550 of the debt left.

My account with lloyds tsb no longer exists as obviously it was closed when it went to the debtors agency.

I dont know my account number/sort code or anything?

Is there anything I can do and would I be entitled to claim anything at all?

Thanks

Charlie

    Hiya

    If you was a full time uni student, and not working more than either 16 or 18 hours, this policy would have been worthless to you anyway.
    Call into the lloyds branch, they should still hold details for at least the last 6 years, even if the account was moved to collections etc.
    Speak to the branch manager and if you do happen to have the bank account number they will check your account this way.
    Otherwise they will possibly ask a few personal security questions.
