Hello All, Hoping someone can help me. My 2nd post on this forum in 6 years membership, oh the shame!! :-)

I've been trying to claim PPI for a Lloyds TSB loan I had around 2006 / 2007, I've since closed the bank account, and repaid the loan in full, so I don't not have the account number or any statements relating to the account / loan or PPI.

So I completed and posted the PPI claim form I downloaded from the Lloyds bank website and posted it off to them.

I've since had a letter back from Lloyds bank stating that they have checked and found no accounts under my name, which I find hard to believe. They have asked that I provide proof that I had a loan account with them in order to progress the claim within the next 14 days or they will cancel the claim.

Is there anything else I can do from this point?

Cheers,

Scott

    Provide them with that proof.

    Which would be an account number / statements, which my original post mentions I don't have.
  • Write to the bank with a subject access request. Given that it is fairly recent they should still have a record somewhere that the PPI team cannot be bothered to look for. It will only cost £10

    Thanks Bob, will look into this.

    I have filled out a template letter I got off this site, is the SAR something additional I need to ask for?

    Did you send the request to Lloyds or TSB?

    They are separate companies now.

    I sent it to Lloyds, that thought did cross my mind, so might be worth sending a copy to TSB also.

    postal address is certainly the same for posting ppi claim forms.

    LLoyds took on liability for all pre TSB stuff.

    Well the O/P needs to tell them to look harder, if he is certain it was with LTSB. ;D

    SAR template letter is here:

    It will cost £10 (cheque or PO).

    Do note that details on accounts are typically deleted 6 years after they were closed (due to data protection laws) so if your loan was open until say 2010 you should be ok to get whatever they have left - if it was closed on or before April 2009 it'll depend what they can find as it may all be archived and deleted from the systems that the SAR team can access (I believe from posts by Magpiecottage that the SAR only has to be looked at by a temp with a reasonable knowledge of their systems).

    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.

    Ok, thanks folks.

    Loan was 2006 / 2007 which is 8/9 years ago. Recently lost my job so just wondering if it's worth paying out £10 for the SARS if it's going to be a high probability I'll get nothing back for it.
