Ppi claim but no paperwork!!

Hope someone can help. I had a loan with beneficial finance which I paid off in 2005. I paid off the loan which (stupidly) was secured against my house. I was told there was no alternative loan at the time even though our credit was excellent and both myself and my husband both worked with a good wage. We were not a high risk for lending,!! This was actually a top up of an existing loan which I am pretty sure I had not agreed to. I work in the health service and as such would not need any ppi as I am well covered for sickness and job loss.
My problem is I just don't have any paperwork for these loans any more!! Is there ANY way I can find out the information I need to make a claim??
(hope I posted in the right place. I am new to the forum)
Any help appreciated
Thanks

    Hi ShelleyH,
    From just doing a quick search on line Beneficial Finance were taken over by HFC and due to the timespan (over 6 years) you may struggle :(
    You could try a free credit check and it might throw up the last 4 digits of any previous loans, failing that try contacting HFC but I think you will be lucky to get any info :( Good luck in trying, someone else may be able to suggest another approach
