in Reclaim PPI & other insurance
Hi, I trying to discover if we ( my sister and I) are eligible for ppi for my mother who passed away last May. I have her previous addresses but I don’t know what cards and leans she has had. She suffered with mental health and was never very good with money. I know she has had many credit cards and catalog accounts over the years, I just don’t know where to look to find out. We have been granted probate as well. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The only record of what she had is in her credit file or her paperwork. Please note no reclaim company will be able to discover anything different because her records are not in the public domain.

    Only has last 6 years - all free, don't use the paid for report

    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.

    Would a credit report still be available for a person deceased twelve months?

    No idea. I guess they might be able to SAR them. I suppose it depends if anyone tells the agencies if you die and what they do with the data e.g. archive it or whatever
