Very old mortgage PPI 20 + years, but missold!

Hi there,

Perhaps you could help, approx 20 years ago I took out my first mortgage with Lloyds, although I was self employed, it was made plain to me that unless I took out PPI, my chances of obtaining a mortgage were neglible, I remonstrated that as I was S/E I wouldn't be able to claim anyway....

But the salesman (mortgage adviser) said it would also cover me for accidental death.. I needed the mortgage so I signed, but the sense of injustice lingers, I dont have any paperwork relating to the mortgage, so where do I start....

Must be worth something by now....

Thanx in adv Nick.

  • You don't say who sold you the policy - was it a Lloyds TSB adviser or somebody else?

    If it was somebody else, then it will be a non-starter.

    Even if not, the chances of proving your assertions will be very small after all this time.

    Most MPPi does cover the self employed. Why do you think yours didnt?
