Barclays PPI - Telephone Call

Posts: 20 Forumite
Hi,
I received a letter from Barclays a couple of months ago inviting me to claim back PPI on a loan I took out in 2006. I had very little paperwork but went ahead and completed the questionnaire to the best of my memory. Main points being -
Not sold in my best interests
Pressurised sale
Had other ways to pay if made redundant
The interest element on the PPI side was not explained to me, I actually had no idea interest would be paid.
Today I have had a call from Barclays asking basically the same Qs as the questionnaire, I re-iterated everything I had written. They seemed interested in my pre-exisiting medical condition (mild asthma) asking if they asked about it or explained what would be covered, they didn't ask at point of sale or go through what would be covered. However I have probably shot myself in the foot by telling them that Barclays didn't ask nor did I volunteer the info as I wasn't asked - silly me, I was just trying to be honest.
Anyway sorry for the long post, I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience with Barclays calling to clarify details? I'm guessing this is a bad sign?
