PPI mystery for us

Options
I think we will be the only family not getting anything from the PPI gold rush everybody seems to get.
we had an egg card that cant located our account
we had barclaybank who cant find our record related to a loan we took 20 years ago
and all others credit cards and car loans, sofa etc who cant find any records of us!!

My friends all get ppi refund even some didnt get an egg card on her name but because her husband had one they refund to her as well!!

    I doubt it. You sounds as if you are in the majority who didn't have PPI.

    If you have no evidence of a PPI mis sale, and the bank has no evidence of a PPI mis sale, it's a possibility that there may not have been a PPI mis sale.

    I have never had PPI, my CC are always paid in full (so no PPI) and never had any loan/finance until 2014 when car dealers had largely stopped selling it.

    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.

    Not at all. Most people never bought PPI and were not missold PPI.

    If you have no data and they have no data, then it is game over. The periods you are looking at are long ago. Car loans and sofas would see the liaiblity with the seller (i.e. car dealer or sofa shop). They were not regulated until Jan 2005.

    You are not getting the full story there. The redress payment is paid once. Not twice.

    I'd say it was far more than a possibility! :)

    Although there was a PPI mis-selling scandal which affected many many customers, the vast majority of people were (mis) sold nothing at all.
