Help needed tracing Loan company

Options
Hi

I am trying to trace the name of a company we had a loan from in roughly 2005. Unfortunately I have paid off the loan and threw away all the paperwork.

I remember it was a big well known company. We applied over the telephone and were allowed the loan. They then sent a motorcycle courier that night to get us to sign the paperwork. The money was then put into our account the next day.

I would be very grateful if any help anyone can offer.

Thanks

    If it was paid off in the last 6 years, it should be on your credit files.

    If not, it will only be in your paperwork or memory.

    I had such a loan with the Bank of Scotland - applied for the loan on the phone and the documentation was delivered by courier who waited for my signature before returning the signed documents to the bank. I believe Halifax also sold PPI with loans on the telephone and had the loan agreement and the policy documents delivered this way.
    You may find it useful to check which providers you may have had the loan with here
