Makro store card 1980’s and 1990’s

Options
During about 1985 -1995 I spent a large amount of money at the Makro store in Leicester using the credit card promoted by Makro. I am certain there was PPI involved.
Can anyone remember the name of the bank or credit card company concerned as I have long destroyed all my records?

    I'm not sure it matters.

    I'd bet that any Makro credit card and associated PPI would have been sold to you by, err, Makro.

    1985-1995 would be pre-regulation for one thing. And for another, there's a very good chance that you records were deleted years ago.

    What did Makro say when you contacted them?

    It would have been pre regulation. Your comp!ain't is likely over. Why do you not complain directly to them?

  • Has it been a concern over the past few years that you have been mis sold, if you have? If so, then complain directly to whoever sold you the policy.

    PPI was virtually unheard of in 1985...

    I was contacted out of the blue from Barclaycard earlier this year for a complaint I made through a cmc in 2017 rejected by Barclaycard then, which I accepted. I have only ever had one credit card a Barclaycard in 1980's paid off and never had again and yet this year they awarded me £4500! so if it was unheard of in the 80's or 90;s why was I compensated? I didn't ask I was just happy to receive the compensation!:D

    Are you sure it was for PPI and not CPP?...there is a difference.
