Finacial Ombudsman turned down 2 cases for PPI

Just had two letters back from the financial ombudsman service saying they have looked into my cases with EGG(Barclays) and Capital one taken out in 2002 and 2003 both letters are exactly the same apart from the dates.
Saying both companies did not mis sell the policy even thou the information given to me was not very clear. I can appeal but dont know if it would be worth it?

Anyone have any advise?

    Letter back from FOS
    Looking at the information you had when you bought the policy, I think it is unlikely that clearer information about costs and benefits would have affected your decision to take out. I can see that barclays could have made it clearer to you, But I think your circumstances at the time suggest the policy was not to expensive for you. Concluding barclays did not mis sold the policy.
  • Same as capital One....

    That is a weak complaint reason. It doesnt really identify any wrong doing. Just a retrospective opinion in a hit and hope. Did you have anything stronger in your complaint?

    Were these sold cases or bought?
