Very old possible PPI claim with First Direct

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on whether I can make this claim....

So, I used to have a First Direct current account and credit card. This was way WAY back in 1999-2001 (ish).

I don't have any details of the accounts anymore but I do remember that when I signed up for them (got both at the same time) I was sent 2 metal 'key fobs' as part of some insurance thing that was setup as well on both accounts that was supposed to mean that if I lost my keys and someone else found them, they could pop them into a postbox and they'd be returned to me. The insurance covered other stuff as well though although that's the only thing I can remember about it.

Does anyone else remember this? Was that part of a PPI?

As I don't have the account details, can I just write to First Direct and say 'Hey - I lived here between these dates and had these accounts with you. Please check if I'm due a refund for PPI?'

I've checked their website and they've got a long form to fill in - but it looks like I need to provide all my account details on it.
