Is PPI time barred

Options
I had PPI under my GE money card which was subsequently a Santander Cards UK Ltd. I've had a letter from Santander and this is their response " We consider your complaint as against SCUKL is time barred because under general legal principles you have 15 years from point of sale of the PPI to bring a mis-selling claim. Over 15 years has passed since the date you purchased your PPI and as you did not bring your mis-selling claim at court against SCUKL we consider your complaint time barred" Is this correct?

    Was this a store card perhaps?

    Santander have started doing this with store cards, assuming it meets the 3, 6 and 15 year rules then your complaint is over.

    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.

    There is no 15 year rule from the FCA. Just the 3/6 year rule. However, a number of Storecards that Santander currently has liability on were not regulated by the FCA. The 15 year period is for legal action.

    Corrine, I have had the exact same thing in a letter from Santander today the same statement regarding a 15 year time-barr so just wondering if you got anywhere with this?

    The thread was answered in April and user "Corinnetaylor" hasn't logged in to this site since. I sincerely doubt she had the time bar lifted. Read post # 4.
