Accounts over 10 years old
I'm considering claiming PPI on a mortgage, store cards and credit cards I have held previously but they were all over 10 years ago and I have no details of who they were with, account numbers etc.
I've looked in to having a credit check done but so far it appears that that would only give me up to 6 years of information and the PPI I would like to claim back is from well over 10 years ago.
Is there any other way to find out who these companies were?
Thanks.

no. It is down to your memory and your records.

PS Don't be fooled into using a claims company, they have no more access to data than you do despite the lies they tell you
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

hi
I have just given written a letter to all the major banks and asked for a copy of all information held in my name.
The letter is in a from of a SAR and £10.00 MUST BE PROVIDED.
The royal bank has got in touch yesterday with 2 loans I had from 1990 and 1993.
GOOD LUCK:j0 -
Yes this can work though it can be expensive and of course, simply having financial products like PPI doesn't prove you were miss-sold - so make sure you have proper complaint reasons before sending in a claim!hi
