Need help lost!

Hi i am new here and could do with some help?

I had my car finance through a company called Brooklyn Motors but they no longer trade anymore.

About a year ago i sent British Credit trust (Lender) a letter about ppi that had been mis-sold to me.

They replied saying they didnt sell the ppi and gave me information to get in contact with i think the fsa..cant really remember. So i did.

They sent me out a form and i filled in all the details. Fine. Sent it will all the stuff i had....But i needed more. and the paper work i need would have been from Brooklyn motors sooo i just gave up.

Is there away i can get the paper work..or am i being silly and doing it wrong.

I only thought to start looking at it again as my mrs got her's through with success and told me to get back on it.

I know i was sold ppi because the woman said to me that i wouldn't get accepted for the finance without it.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks

    If it was sold prior to January 2005 your complaint is over. If it was sold after that, you complain to the FSCS but if you already have and they asked for paperwork and you don't have it, your complaint is over.

  • Yeah was after 2005. Couldn't i just redo the complaint if i got hold of the paper work?

    Yes, but you can't get hold of the paperwork from the firm if the firm has gone bust

    It isnt over. You dont need paperwork to put your complaint to the FSCS. The FSCS will investigate based on what you have and what they are able to obtain.

    I read his original post as he's already done that and been rejected due to lack of paperwork. Could be wrong though.....

    Are you saying that the FSCS are saying they needed more information?

    (you said FSA in the first post. Did you mean FSCS?)
