    Ignore any companies - they are just after a cut of any payout you might get. Pull out your loan documents to see if you have any PPI - or if you have lost your loan agreements then have a read of this section of the forum to see how to find out if you had PPI and to consider whether you may have a claim for it being missold. Reclaim PPI & Other Insurance

    If you do then all it will cost is a bit of time and a couple of quid in postage and you'll keep all of your repayment not lose 50% of so to these vulture companies.

    I wouldn't be surprised. I used to regularly get calls from these sorts of companies telling me that I could claim back for mis-sold PPI or my endowment mortgage. I'm 24 and I've never had a loan in my life :rotfl:
