Old store card claim. Advice needed!

I took out a Dorothy Perkins store card between 1990-92 which I had for a few years. I remember taking it out at the till as you got a discount on your purchase at the time and am presuming it probably would have had some sort of payment protection attached to it? I was a 16 yo student at the time and can’t think why they even gave me one! I have no paperwork at all and have no clue who I should contact to find out an account number to make a PPI claim. Does anyone have any useful advice or info?

    Quarter century old pre-regulation finance.

    Do you really expect to advance a complaint, given your lack even of any documentary evidence?

    The Santander PPI team are helpful and can often provide account details over the 'phone, by searching on your name and address at the time.
    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.
