Hello one and all i have a question regarding purchase of a Desktop Computer package from a company called Gateway i purchased this item in 1999 and and paid off the computer via HP instalments I have no paperwork but I believe I can request info via a subject access data request so that I can claim back the PPI costs.I believe the finance was arranged by GE Capital.Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Forget it, even if Gateway are still around in some form the sale in 1999 is years before regulation started so they don't have to consider your complaint. GE Capital did not sell you anything so are not liable.

    You can send a SAR but if the account has not been active in the last 6 years (and I would imagine it was probably been paid off 15+ years ago) then they won't have any records left to send you

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    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.
