Identifying if you had PPI Help

Options
I'm trying to help my 70-year-old grandmother find out if she ever had PPI. She's got no original paperwork, and a bad memory thanks to some medical issues (which should help if she does have PPI!) but it's making the job difficult.

She knows she had at least the following catalogues:
Littlewoods
Great Universal Stores
Grattan
Marshall Ward
Janet Fraser
50 Plus

Littlewoods is still active now, as is 50 Plus (although it's renamed). I've contacted Littlewoods asking them if the account ever had PPI, but honestly, all of this is a little beyond me, and I've got no idea how to go about any of the others. Any assistance would be appreciated. Where do I even start?

    You complain directly to whoever sold it to her. Bear in mind lots of these will be pre regulation probably.

  • When I go to the PPI complaints section, it asks for details I don't know. Such as what was it called, how did they missell it, etc? Do I go through this process to find out if she even had it? Or I find out if she had it, before going through that complains procedure?

    It sounds like you're on the Resolver site?

    That is used for complaints, you'd do better just writing to these firms and asking them what they have left records wise - if they have no records left then your complaint will be over anyway

    Do note though you are complaining so your reasons for miss-sale must be given, you don't just get a refund.

    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.
