Previous Credit Cards

Hi Everyone. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to find out what previous credit cards we have had. My wife had a credit card years ago but we destroyed it and also got rid of all the statements. We now want to check to see if we may have a PPI claim but can't remember who we had the credit card from. Is it possible to find this out? It would be great if anyone knows how to do this. Many thanks. Brian

  • Your financial records are not in the public domain, so only if you have records from your own archive are you likely to have any success.

    Take comfort from the fact that you are not even sure if you had any PPI.

    The only ways of discovering who you had credit with is your credit report, if it's under 6 years, or your memory. Or you can check your bank statements online a few years more and see who you paid money to. That's it really.
