Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have had a store card for about 23 years and I took out PPI on it. I have never claimed and have been happy, the balance has always been paid off within 2-3 months. I was made redundant last Oct and decided that I would claim on the PPI.
I received a letter from the insurance company last friday to say that they would not pay unemployment claim because:
"you were working for an employer that was not a UK registered company"
I moved jobs about 4 years ago to an Irish comapny but I was located full time in the UK and have been paying UK tax all my working life.
Still worth a go, try the mis selling route, if you had been adequately informed of the small print when you took out the policy on moving to an Irish company you would have purchased alternate insurance, they will not have an adequate record to prove the T & C were discussed with you at all before taking out the insurance. Have a look at the PPI sticky posts there are excellent POC's you could use. Just registered for default judgement on T & C etc based PPI claim.

Can anyone let me where I go from here???
First time I have seen this scenario. If your store card terms and conditions state you have to work for a uk registered company fine but if the terms make no mention of changes to your working practice ie if you change employers you must inform us in writing within (whatever timescale) then you may have a chance to claim.
You at the point of starting a store card took out PPI and the terms state you must be employed by a UK registered company then you fulfil all of the obligation within the terms and conditions. If the terms and conditions make no mention of you having to notify the card issuer on change of employment to a non UK registered company especially as these terms have been on the go for 23 years then IMO the terms and conditions issued were at fault by not notifying you of the requirements to notify the lender on change of employment.
I am not a legal person but this may be worth flagging up to the legal forum for further advice.

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.
