Don't have company names or details

Hi all,

My mum has signed up unknowingly to a bunch of PPI's in the past but we don't have any records of these anymore.

We only had record of 2 which we managed to get a nice lump in compensation (with thanks to the information found on this website we reclaimed it for free!!) so my question is.......is there a way to find out this information without having to use on of the PPI companies that take a percentage of any compensation?

Thanks in advance.

Crum

    Accounts in the last 6 years are on your credit files. Everything else is in your memory of filing.

    Do NOT use a claim company. You will need to tell them which companies you had PPI with. If you can do that you can do it yourself.

    How did she unknowingly sign up for something with a company she doesn't know the name of? What proof of these unknown payments does she have? Any payment will have a payee name listed.

    OK, so I probably worded that incorrectly. She knows of times in the past that she has had a loan and PPI was included and was led to believe it was something she had to have and was not an option. I'll get a copy of her experian report. Thank you.
