    If you have reasons for mis sell then put a claim in, if you win redress they will take the money back that they paid out when you were ill and they will use the rest (if any)towards the debts you owe them.
    It is possible that after they take back what they paid you the PPI was less than the claim you made and they will owe you nothing.

    it only helps if the PPI you had did not cover self employed or had too tight criteria. It wont help if it did cover self employed.
