in Reclaim PPI & other insurance
Is there a free online checker to see if I have paid any PPI anywhere (like they had for lost bank accounts)?

Thanks in advance

    No, nothing like that exists.

    You can check your credit record for free at Noddle or get the £2 report from Experian/Equifax and these will show all your credit (cards/loans/finance) for the last 6 years but beyond that it's purely your memory or records.

    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.

    Claims companies tend to lie about this sort of thing existing, probably where it came from. They will normally just ask you who you think you had something with, then send of the DSAR to every firm for all your details and then send off PPI complaints so it seems like they have some special access

    She is definitely getting confused. Not least because any information the banks hold on you is personal information and to share it publicly would be a breach of the Data Protection Act.
