Many providers only hold a rolling 6 years of statement information. That is the main reason 6 years is given. It does not apply to all.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

Have you read the MSE article on reclaiming PPI?
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/ppi-loan-insuranceIs there a deadline I need to reclaim by?
No, you can complain about a product sold at any time, though here are some guidelines which may help. It's easier if your insurance was active in the last six years, but don't let this put you off.
Insurance started in the last six years: There's no issue here at all. Even if the loan's now paid off, you can start a reclaim.
Older insurance that's still active, or ended within the last six years: You can start a reclaim. The six-year rule applies to active insurance, so a policy taken out 12 years ago but paid off five years ago was still active within the key six year period.
If your policy ended over six years ago: The ‘statue of limitations’ means banks don’t need to keep records that are over six years old. However, there is no official cut-off time so if you’ve still got the paperwork, while your chances of success are a little lower with older loans, many still do successfully reclaim.0
