    Your own records.
    And if you are doing this for some try-it-on complaint with a CMC then be on guard. The uphold rate is on these is just single digits and some CMCs end up landing you with a bill despite there never really being a case in the first place.   Also remember that mortgages were only regulated from October 2004.    Both the FOS and the FSCS have been highly critical of claims companies putting in fake mortgage complaints.

    As mentioned you can check your credit files, all 3 of them.
    Your bank statements, you can go back so many years so go over them with a fine toothcomb.
    Your own memory, think back and see if you can remember anything.

    Apropos of nothing, we’ve noticed a massive upturn in activity from a certain Manchester-based Barrister with a name similar to a popular maker of Jeans. You know the one, offers the world but recommends you take out a large loan to cover his practise. 

    Expect a hell of a lot more of these posts in the coming weeks.

    they're - 'they are'
