Halifax PPI shock

I am pretty good with money and have never taken out ppi,as I didn't see the point of it,you have to wait 30days and then it only payed out for 12 months.
Anyway,I decided to contact my loan providers and credit card providers (always 0% the move) on the of chance.
To my surprise halifax have said I had it on 2 credit cards and 1 mortgage,never remembered this !must have been at least 15yrs ago.
Do I stand any chance of a refund.
I have started a claim but had to leave a lot of the form blank as it was that long ago...

    Impossible to say as we dont know what your complaint reasons are.
    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.
  • Main complaint is that I did nt agree/know it had benn take out.

    It would have been on every monthly statement for the credit cards and the original mortgage documentation will contain your signed agreement to PPI.
    So far your complaint is the weakest there is. What other aspects of the sale did you complain about?
  • Can I get my old statements ? As cannt remember seeing it,
    What else would strengthen my case as as not knowing it was even on !
    Think I might have had to take it out to get my first mortgage ?

    If it wasn't on your statements, you didn't pay it!

    You'll have to do better than that...
  • With regard to your credit cards you may have opted for PPI when you applied for the card but this is only payable on outstanding monthly balances. If you always paid in full each month no PPI would have been paid.
