PPI Question

I've had a google and cannot find the answer, I have no idea if I have ever paid PPI I think I may have done with car finance for my first car going back 13 years now but would have no clue how to find out who the credit was through etc.

Looking as Expedia that goes back 6 years max so without knowing should I try one of those PPI companies as I guess they will be able to someone see previous things?

    All a CMC does is send a letter to the firms you tell them you had credit with. Your lending data is not in the public domain. So, they cannot magic this information up.

    Plus, with car finance, you complain to the dealer. Not the lender. Dealers became regulated from 14th Jan 2005. So, they only need to consider complaints for sales made after that date.

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