How do I find an old account no for a Lloyds loan - closed in 1997/1998?

[chicka]

Hello

 

I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction - I have read through many threads on here but everyone seems to already have an account number.

 

I took out a loan with Lloyds back in 1995 with PPI but I was actually full time at college at the time and not employed and therefore believe I shouldnt have been sold PPI.

 

The loan was repaid a year or two early (it was a 5 year loan). I have never had any other facilities with Lloyds since and wrote to my local branch where I originally took out the loan. I had a reply but it had been sent from a Newcastle central unit and they said they couldnt find anything for me on file and to contact my local branch (which is what I had originally tried to do).

 

What should my next step be? It seems really difficult without any account number or actual dates (I have an estimate of dates and know the loan amount).

 

Any help would be most appreciated - I really would like to pursue this further.

 

Many thanks

As the account was closed so long ago they may well have destroyed the data by now.

 

You could try a Subject Access Request (SAR) but as I say you may find that they have nothing on you any more.

Many thanks for the advice - how do I find out where to send the request to?
