PPI claim and previous surname help

Hi all,

Hsbc have agreed to refund me some ppi which is great. However, my old bank account which i closed some time ago is the one with the ppi claim. It is in my first married name. I went back to my maiden name and then remarried a few years later so now have a different surname.
I have been asked to prove who i am, which is fine. But, i dont know where the deed poll is from when i changed my name from first married back to my maiden name, i think i may be able to find my marriage certificate for my name now, and of course can provide proof of address etc, but what do i do?
I am worried they wont pay out the money if i cant prove who i am!
thanks in advance :-)

    You can only send the proof you have. Just send it and see what they say..
  • If you also have your previous marriage certificate, that would show your maiden name.?

    Then just explain the order in which you changed names and the circumstances.
