Is it worth reclaiming?

I took out a loan with Barclays when I was 18 for £3-£4K and suspect I was missold PPI. At the time of taking out the loan, I was told that I should get ppi "as it would increase my chances of being accepted" for the loan.

The problem is, about 2 years into paying off the loan, I defaulted and ended up on a payment plan with debt recovery agent. As it was back in 2008 when I took out the loan, I no longer have any paperwork for the loan or for the debt recovery agent (all mones owed have been payed off for a few years now).

Is it worth or even possible to claim back the ppi?

Thanks

    If you complain and succeed then the redress payment can be used to repay the default. If that has gone quiet and you are not being chased for the money, it may be better to let sleeping dogs lie.
