Can these PPI claims cover endowment policy?

Help! Can anyone tell me if we should put forward a claim for a mis-sold endowment policy from the 1980's which finished over 5 years ago?? We missed out on doing a 'mis-sold endowment claim' as were told we had left it too long to claim - but should we try again under this mis-sold PPI system? Policy was taken out with TSB to pay our mortgage off and obviously fell far short of the balance. Any advice welcome...

    PPI is not an endowment, so not sure why your compare. It sounds like your endowment complaint was time barred. If you want to complain about the PPI, then make a complaint.

    What is your reason for complaint?

    There you go then. You have your answer.

    There is no mis-sold PPI system. It uses the same complaints process that has been around for ages.

    You already said you were timebarred on that.

    Have you read the MSE guide to mis-sold endowments?

    ... In a nutshell, you're complaining about the way you were sold – not the performance of your policy....
