Newbie here..please be gentle :j
I wrote to HSBC about PPI that I has in 1999 - 2004 using a template from MSE :beer:
They wrote back saying they that their records only went back 6 years and they couldn't see anything.
As I don't have paperwork from 16 + years ago - what can i do ?
Thank you.

If you don't have records...and they don't have records...nothing.
You could gamble £10 on a SAR but I'm be fairly confident it'd be £10 in the bin.0 -

You may have paid it legitimately so no complaints there
You don't get it back just becauseyou
You really just need to move onmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
It's pre regulation too, so they can just say tough.
No.
High street Banks cannot say "tough" on pre-regulation complaints because they had their own regulatory body in place prior to 2005.
This has been pointed out to you before, McKneff, so please don't post this misinformation.0 -
Blueskies - this isn't correct across the board (that HSBC only retain records for 6 years), although, it may be true in relation to your complaint.
eg a friend just received compensation from HSBC re Card Guard which was taken out in 1997 and HSBC had records of those payments as did Card Guard/CPP!
[This surprised me as the CPP compensation scheme ended a year ago, although I recall that was only for more recent cover than this historic policy]Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0 -
Banks have to hold data in line with the data protection act, they are supposed to delete old data which they have no reason to hold and the common guideline in finance is 6 years. If you have no active products with them and haven't since 2004 then 12+ years it is reasonable they would have deleted it as required by law.
At best you could gamble the £10 on a DSAR and hope they turn something up that front line staff can't see but the guidance is only that it is available in a system a reasonably trained temp could findSam 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.
