Did you sort out the PPI refund yourself, or go via one of those companies? I want to look into mine but I've got no idea whether I've ever had any but I've had numerous loans, cards etc over the years, so I'm not sure where to start.

Don't use a company.

1. Write a list of all the companies you've had loans/cards/etc
2. google 'company name'+PPI Complaint
3. Find the first link which is on the company's website
4. fill in the details & Submit.

Wait.

I've done this recently. I was able to do all of them directly with each company. It took probably 1 hour to contact all 7 companies. I explained I didn't know if I had PPI or not. All the companies wrote an actual letter back to me.

HTH.

Thank you. The issue I have is that I can't possibly recall every single company I've had a loan or card with - I've had loads over the last 25 years or so, which is why I'm unsure where to start. I'll start doing this process with the ones I can remember though.

I just worked backwards from today and went back as far as I could.

If you want, you can get a credit report to see what you've had recently. Then after that, search through internet banking records to see who you have paid out each month (usually under Direct Debits/Standing Orders). Final one is the boring 'going through your own paperwork'.

You could, if you wanted to, just write to every bank/financial institution in the UK. Most will have websites you can ask through. It will obviously take you longer but you'll get most if not all of the accounts you had.

Hello CC, i did it all myself, i went direct to my bank and on their website there is usually and enquiry form to fill in, i was very vague with my details as it was 15 years ago but after a 10min phone call where you just have to say it was something you did not want and were mis sold the insurance, i was in full time employment and had no financial commitments at the time so i didn't need it. I had no account numbers i couldn't even remember when i took the credit card but knew i had one and on the phone they informed me i had ppi on it, i didn't even know!

To start i would make a list of loans, credit cards you have had and then go through them one by one and contact the relevant banks, they took it very seriously infact i would sat to serious i was contacted by them every week with an update start to finish was 4 weeks i would say
