Credit Reports

Forgive me if this has been asked several times before, but is there a company that will carry out a credit report going back several years (like 20!). This is in relation to a PPI claim through Barclays and Barclays are now asking questions such as what savings and life insurance I had at the time of taking out my PPI which was 19 years ago!?
Please advise/HELP

If you don't remember, tell them that. Otherwise piece together what you can. For instance, think about where you worked and when. Were you in a pension scheme? If you were, how much death-in-service benefit did you have? Give them that for life cover.0 -
They should have the information on the accounts etc for at least six years after they were last closed. So that is a start. If I were you I would tell them everything you thought you had, and leave it to them to work out what you actually had and when!0
