Has anyone had any success with PPI claims with a company called Benton Finance. I know i definetly had PPI for a car loan with them but it was back in the late 80's.

I'm not sure what I need to do now, I've passed all my information relating to this to a PPI company (i know this isn't the best way to do things) and they've drawn a blank, should i just give up?

    Car dealers did not become regulated until January 2005. (exception being some own-brand finance).

    You are over 30 years prior to regulation. Its no wonder they have drawn a blank. Even if the car dealer was still around, they wouldnt have to consider it.

    I too had finance with Benton in 2000 originally charter s
    trust now black horse. Do you have any details of Benton such as an address, location, etc. I believe only last year I had a clear out and the finance agreement got destroyed.

    Still five years prior to regulation and so even with the Agreement you say has been destroyed you would struggle to advance this..
