PPI Reclaim, no evidence

Options
Can I pursue a ppi claim if i no longer have any evidence/paperwork that I ever held an account with a company ?

From memory I've had credit cards with:
Halifax, MBNA, Sky, Natwest, British Airways executive club, Nationwide
Always paid in full!

Mortgages with:
Yorkshire building society 1996-2010
N&P (became Abbey, became Santander) 1987-1996
The mortgage corporation 1984-1987
And one other - cannot remember who with

Bank accounts with:
Barclays 1977-1987
Midland / HSBC 1987-2014
Halifax 2014-
Lloyd's (joint)
First direct (joint)

Loans:
Midland bank

I dont recall ppi or any other protection, but that is the whole of the miss selling scandal.

Thanks

    You can complain certainly, if the banks don't have any records left they'll just ask you to provide copies and if you don't have any your complaint will end.

    If your credit card was always paid in full you could have had PPI but you'd never pay any as it was only charged on outstanding balances.

    Mortgages you would have to complain to whoever sold it to you (often a broker) and as they were all pre-2005 when they started unless you bought it from the lender they would be pre-regulation so could be dismissed. The lender has no liability for a MPPI policy that they didn't provide.

    Bank accounts rarely had PPI except for overdrafts, if you had no overdraft you would never pay any

    Loan could have had it but if it's Midland bank it's going back a long way, fair chance they will not have any records left

    Not really, the PPI scandal was miss-selling. It is a claims company myth that PPI could be hidden or added without your consent. PPI on a credit card would be on every statement you received for example. PPI on a loan would be on the loan agreement you signed. MPPI would be agreed with a broker (MPPI is actually the one PPI product still widely retailed today as it's a good product as it can save your home. It's extremely rare that someone would have a mortgage and have the funds to be able to cover their monthly payments for 12-24 months (plus other bills) if they were unable to work.)

    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.

    Thanks Nasqueron, that's pretty much what i thought. Yes mortgages were sold through a broker who I've forgotten the name of, and have long since gone and i have no paperwork anyway.
