Needing account numbers for PPI claim

I've followed the guide and got a breakdown of my past credit from Equifax, however the account numbers are starred, eg.

************4090,

I'm aware the template letter suggests that I put in the full account number, however I no longer have these.

Would just putting my personal details and address at the time of the account being open be enough?

or is there another way I can get the full accont number.?

thanks

    The only other route is to SAR them but it's not guaranteed to give you all you need and it costs £10 and can take 40 days to get a reply.
    It is possible they can trace the loan/credit card from just the last 4 digits especially if you supply all your other details at the time of getting them ;)
