Mis sold Car Finance Reclaim

Having followed all Martins advice to find previous finance agreements, I have found only 1. I know that during the qualifying period, I had many more car finance agreements. I can't remember the reg numbers and have no record of previous bank details (as I change my current accounts regularly). Should I engage a claims firm? Do they have any "special powers" to locate these finance agreements? I have done everything I can to locate past details.
Thanks in advance

    Claims firms have "No Special" powers...
    Except the ability to rob you blind 🤣

    On a separate note, there is a dedicated section for car claims in Motoring section..

    They have access to less than you, they can send a speculative claim to a number of firms but you can do that too but if your record keeping is so poor you dont have anything at all its very much a fishing trip and would only work if you never moved home.
