HSBC credit card PPI

Hi-
I had an HSBC credit card from 1998 to 2011.
I read in other posts that people who opened a credit card the same period had PPI on it

I was able to find some statements from as far back as 2004 but I can't see any reference to PPI on them.

Would that be included in the interest charge ?
Should there be a separate charge for PPI?
Is there anything else to look for on the statement that indicates PPI?

Any advise would be appreciated.
- Andy

    You didn't have PPI.

    It would show on the statement. Hiding it in the interest is an claims company myth.

    But the majority would not have done. you should really be saying "some".

    That makes you the same as the majority of people.

    No. Interest is interest. PPI is PPI. Neither can be each other.
    Should there be a separate charge for PPI?

    If you had it, yes.
    If you didnt have it, no.
    Is there anything else to look for on the statement that indicates PPI?

    No, Just the entry that increases your balance with the PPI payment.
    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Doesnt sound like you have it

    If it was charged, it would be itemised clearly, on a separate line on the monthly statement(s). It would be difficult to miss.

    It can't be "hidden" in the interest, nothing would add up correctly . . .
