Missold PPI by company which went into administration

Hi, Hoping for some advice. I was missold ppi insurance by an agent of space kitchens and bathrooms. The insurance was through GE money and underwritten by cardiff pinnacle. Space kitchens have since gone into adminstration and I believe have been bought by weatherseal.

I have contacted both GE money and cardiff pinnacle with a complaint re the ppi. Cardiff Pinnacle lay the blame at GE moneys door, whilst GE money have responded that as my complaint relates specificaly to advice at point of sale it is down to space kitchens but as they are no longer trading i should contact the company administrators.

Not sure where to go next, is it worth me contacting the administrators? Feel like i would be wasting my time with them. Should i make a complaint with the FSA?

Any help gratefully received!

    Should i make a complaint with the FSA?

    FSA dont handle consumer complaints. Plus, they only deal with firms that are regulated by themselves. Space Kitchens may not have been regulated by the FSA (Depends on date primarily)

    When did you buy the loan/insurance?
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
  • The loan was taken out in November 2005, the whole service received from space kitchens was diabolical and we had ongoing issues with them re works done! As I said I understand weatherproof has bought them out but have not accepted any of their liabilities. Thanks for the response by the way!
  • The PPI claim will go to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

    On a different note, if the work done was unsatisfactory you could take that up with GE.
  • Thank you so much, just requested claim form from fscs, hopefuly this will move things along!
