    If sold by the car dealership, or potentially even the finance firm, likely they will simply dismiss it as pre-regulation (started in 2005). Very high chance that so many years later (particularly if it was closed more than 6 years ago) they won't have any records left

    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.

  • Morning, I have a similar situation not having the agreement number etc but purchased my car from YCC in 2006.

    How would i go about raising a claim without the account details? Also i can find limited information about the company address.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    There is unlikely to be any record of this finance twelve years on. You can find out via Google if Yes Car Credit is still operating and, if not, you can approach FSCS-but I doubt you'll get very far with no documentation...
  • Hi there we've purchased a car from yes car credit, this was between 2002/2007. We lost all our agreement details , but lately we received a letter from them , about updating our policy privacy details. And this included our account details do we still av a chance to claim our PPI. This was misold to us as we was not allowed hire purchase on the cars , unless we took out the PPI. Can someone out there please help me .

    Write and ask them.

    If they have your details, you can put in a complaint, assuming the PPI wasn't a genuine condition of the HP.

    But don't bother if before 2005.

    Even if post 2005, how are you going to prove this allegation?


    They may well have your details on file and perhaps the old account number but nothing else. Worth an ask but as above if it was pre-2005 you have no chance and post 2005 you'd need to come up with better complaint reasons
