New PPI Claims

I'm thinking of trying to recalim PPI for two things:
1) an Egg credit card taken out when i was at university full time. I think maybe i should be able to reclaim either due to feeling pressurised in to taking it out to assit with my credit application and due to my student status?
2) A HSBC loan. At this point I was also led to believe that it would help my application. Additionally, i was in a very good job with excellent sickness benefits (full pay for six months and wither 2/3 or 1/2 pay (not sure which) for the following months. The employers redundancy packages were also generous - 3 1/2 weeks pay per year.

Am i as entitled to reclaim as i think?

    There is a specific section of the frum that deals with PPI reclaiming - perhaps try reposting on there, or having a look through the guides on that section - Reclaim PPI & Other Insurance

    The people on who post regularly on that section will be best places to advise you. I'd suspect that you might well have a claim for the card if you were a student and did not have any job, I'd suspect probably not with the loan. Your employment benefits would be irrelevant to the complaint.

  • Thanks for that. I'll write on that section. Will probably try to reclaim anyway
  • Ive had my claims upheld for the same reasons in your number 2 claim.
