PPI claim. Over 10 years old

Hi. Contacted my bank who said I would have qualified for being mis-sold PPI but because it was over 10 years ago I was not eligible to claim. Is this correct or should I pursue it.
Many thanks

    You are indeed eligible to make a complaint,(note, a complaint and not a claim) but as it was taken out before this was regulated they can literally say

    Do they say why you would have qualified.......

    Any complaint would have to be backed up with proof of miss sellling,

    There is no 10 year rule.

    Sounds like you have completely misunderstood. Are you sure the operator didn't tell you that they had no records of your finance going back ten years?

    What reason are you giving for being mis-sold? Did you even have PPI?

    Barclaycard just upheld a complaint for card from 2001
    Barclayloan did the same for a loan in 1997
    I guess it depends on some luck

    As long as records exist, there is no real time limit for PPI complaints.

    It sounds more like a conversation on probability rather than them quoting a rule. i.e. Because its over 10 years ago, there may not be the records. Nothing to do with eligibility.

    Unless they weren't regulated.

    who are you complaining to and when was it sold?
