PPI claims with no documentation

This is my first posting:
I've had an almost continues loan from Barclay's since 1990. just kept renewing as brought a new motorbike every three years. had a good job with post office and husband was factory supervisor.
Now i am my husbands carer and had to give up work (he has secondary progressive MS and can not work)
I can not find any documents for the loans as i think i shredded them but can i still claim?
Barclay's keep writing standard letters saying i may be able to claim and the money would be a gods send. how do i go about it as the forms asking for dates and without the paperwork it's impossible. and my husbands memory is effected by his MS so he can't help.
any advice please?:)

    I recently wrote to Barclays archive dept who found my old account numbers for a loan from the year 2000 . It took about 2 weeks for them to supply me with this info, so it is possible to get old account numbers.
  • thank you for your reply. Its so frustrating, they actually gave me my account number, just claim they do not have details of what i paid etc even though their own records show I paid.

    Shall I do a seperate DSAR for that account specifically now or make an ombudsman claim? sorry to be a bit slow on this but I'm just not clear on the next steps at the moment and a bit disheartened as I have been missold PPI - i clearly remember Barclays telling me I had to have it or they wouldnt lend me the money. I was 23 at the time and had no clue!
