Can I claim PPI if I have been declared bankrupt?

Hi everyone

I was declared bankrupt three years ago, however I have just been told by a friend that they have claimed money back on mis-sold PPI.

I have had several loans and credit cards where I was sold this insurance, but these were mostly included in my bankruptcy petition. I just wondered if it would be worth me making a claim or if this would not be viable under these circumstances? Perhaps this is a little cheeky to ask but I am intrigued!

Thanks for reading.

    you can still complain. If your complaint is successful they will use the money to pay your creditors. You wont get it.
