Hit a dead end with Mortgage PPI - help

rgb83

My parents decided to venture down the PPI re-claiming path after my Mum thought they never really had PPI. I had a look through their old Mortgage agreement and they paid a £1000 cash upfront payment to a mortgage broker for PPI insurance - paying out £200 per month should they have required it.
Now, I can not locate the original broker / lender / company
Has anyone had any success with Financial Insurance Co.Ltd ?
The mortgage was with Halifax and was settled through Walker Lairds Solicitors, however Halifax advised the PPI was not with them and Walker Laird advised they only acted as the solicitors to witness the mortgage agreement.
We even approached a "we fight your claim" company **shakes head** however they failed to locate it also.
Any help at all would be amazing

Most MPPi complaints do fail as MPPi is considered a more important product. Indeed, it is still retailed today. However, it should always be on a regular premium basis. Single premium MPPI is nearly always considered a mis-sale.

The insurance company has no liability for the sale of insurance unless it was an agent of the insurer. The liabilty for the sale is with the broker. Most brokers only became regulated in Jan 2005 and do not need to consider pre 2005 sales. Some have to go back further depending on their status at the time but that is only of use if they are still trading today.

If they are no longer trading and the sale took place before Jan 2005 then it is game over.
