I am just getting round to starting my PPI claims - somewhat late I know. Please can someone let me know what the first step would be after remembering which companies I had the loan or cc with. Would it be a SAR request?

I would also say have a huge blitz of your paperwork, you might be surprised what you find and where. Remember ultimately it will be down to you to present a case of why you were miss sold. Good luck.
But how do you know where to write & send the SAR to... ? Some PPI claims go way back and loan companies change their names or just disappear... I had quite a few loans with Chartered Trust & Savings, but can't find their whereabouts... or even if they still exist but under a different name...

It is somewhat daunting I think. I have no paperwork whatsoever so need to write off requesting a SAR. I have read somewhere that you are able to email these days rather than writing but that they require a signature (of course) but is that a scanned signature or an electronic one actually on the email? I appreciate information will be in the 100s of threads on the Forum but if anyone could give me a quick response I would be very grateful.
One of my claims will be for an Egg credit card. Having read on here that Barclays should be contacted about this I have checked their site and it states that Egg cards only after 2011. Mine was way back in the late 90s if I remember correctly so think it will be Citibank I need to contact.
