Could my credit cards have PPI if I am not paying any fee

Options
I have a Mastercard and Lloyds Duo Credit card but I am not paying any fees. In fact I pay it off every month so no interest is due, so it costs me nothing. Is it still possible that the cards had PPI and therefore could I claim. If so how do I check that is the case.we are very ignorant in these matters but a neighbour suddenly got a cheque for just over £1000 and she did know she had had PPI on her credit card. Thank you

    If you have PPI and an outstanding balnce any month, there'll be separate line in your staement detailing the payment.

    If you have PPI and you pay your card off every month, you do not pay PPI.

    To find out if you do have PPI even if you haven't paid any, phone your CC company and cancel it if you want to.

    In your case, even if you do have PPI you won't have paid any.

    So no PPI would ever be paid as it was only ever charged if you had an outstanding balance

    In the season of goodwill I won't respond to this

    You don't. Your neighbour simply never read her statements as each month it would say something like "PPI premium £x" on every month

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    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.

    If you have never paid any PPI (as balanced cleared each month), then what would be complaining about?
