    I should also add an additional detail to this. Apparently the Co-op have details of the current loan going back until 2007 but I actually took out a loan before that. I think it was 2005-6. The additional loan was just added to the previous one which I hadn't paid off.

    Does this make any difference?

    A consolidation of a front loaded loan would have led to you continuing to pay interest on the original PPI policy (after early settlement rebate). In effect a loan on a loan on a loan.
    You are looking to have a very strong mis-sale reason here...

    Co-op have said that I might be eligible to claim £1600 on my current loan from 2007. They can't give me any info on the initial loan dating back before that though and have just said that I should reference it in my questionnaire. Should this concern me?

    Feels like I have been very naive here!

    You don't claim a set amount. As I said earlier, full redress is a refund of all monies paid plus 8% interest.
    Go here and follow the simple steps:

  • Well, less than a week after sending my questionnaire I have received an offer of £3350.70 which includes:
    - full refund of PPI premiums paid
    - the interest applied to the premiums
    - an additional 8% interest on these amounts

    Lovely.

    Appreciate your help, chaps.
