in Reclaim PPI & other insurance
I've looked at my Credit Report and I can't see any evidence and I certainly can't remember ever having had PPI.

    They dont. There is no database and the info is not in the public domain. They lie.

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    Same as accident claims, new boilers and kitchens etc - they just pester everyone with a phone hoping that somebody bites.

    They don't, they just need to sound believable enough to keep you on the phone.

    As the saying goes: "even a stopped clock..."

    If my any chance they do have your info then they have probably bought it from a company that has stolen it illegally.
