Tracking Down Companies to reclaim PPI

Options
Hi there, I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone else was having difficulty with some of the companies that owe PPI refunds. I have found that two companies that had told me that I had to have PPI to take out a loan (ok, I was very naive at the time) that have stopped trading, Welcome Finance have got a company dealing with claims, so I am able to go through them, but I am unable to track down "Time" whatsoever. They provided a store card that could be used in the likes of Currys and Woolworths back in the late 1990s, but was actually given to me when I bought a laptop on finance from Currys. I know that there is at least one other person that knows of this company as I have seen their unanswered question on another forum, I was hopeful that maybe someone here may know of them, or who I should approach to find them.

    No one 'owes' you a refund. You make a complaint that it was missold and see what happens.

    Forget about Time, they are defunct, and it was sold to you prior to regulation.

    If you start the process thinking you will automatically get a refund, you might be disappointed, hence my comment. It does't help that everywhere people talk about PPI refunds as if it were a foregone conclusion.

  • Like I said, apologies for getting my wording incorrect, I was naive to take the PPI in the first place, but have been looking into my options very closely since it was announced that some companies miss sold some policies. I was trying to find out about a company that I had a finance policy with, that was all. I have been successful with one of my complaints, and unsuccessful with another. I have two more companies (including the mighty Lloyds) to contact and complain to, and I was just after some info on Time. Thank you for your advice that Time are no longer trading.

    You got some assistance and you'll get more if you need it. Not sure why you think otherwise.
