Any chance of PPI Claim - Portsmouth BS

I had a PBS mortgage many, many years ago. I have absolutely no paperwork or any records, and I'm not even sure of the dates but the mortgage would have been taken out and subsequently paid off 40-odd years ago.

The PBS I believe were eventually taken over by C&G and thereafter by Lloyds.

What are the chances that maybe, just maybe, I would be able to claim something (and how do I go about it?).

    You could only claim on the policy if it was still in force.

    A mis selling complaint would also go nowhere. Nowhere will have records and you probably didn't have it in any case.

    So long before MPPI existed then.

    The chances are absolutely nil.

    Nevertheless, it would be unwise to complain to "Nowhere". :p
