Unsure if I can reclaim PPI on Barclay Card

Options
Just wanted to know if I can claim PPI on a Barclay card that was paid off in 2010. The reason I ask the question is because the Barclay card is not in my name. It is in the name of my girlfriend’s father.

I found out a year ago that my girlfriend’s father was in debt to the tune of £9,000 on his Barclay card. I only found out when my girlfriend open his letters while he was in hospital. I paid off the bill at once using our savings. I have of course been hearing about PPI success case, but I do not have the paperwork and every time I ask my gf dad he gets very upset. I do not want to upset him further as he needs to focus on chemo and I certainly do not want any of the money back, but it would be nice to get a bit back and put it into a saving account for him for future use. So the question is, is it worth pursuing using the letter templates from the forum?


Thank you in advance for your help

  • No, you cannot claim for someone without having been given proper authority by the claimant.
