PPI Claim - how do I track down a Ford dealership?

[debtangel]

Hi

 

This is probably a long shot. I have only just remembered I had PPI on some car finance I took out with a Ford Dealership in the year 1999 (I think). I have no paperwork at all left and the dealership is no longer at the same premises.

 

I'm thinking it was probably Evans Halshaw, but not even sure of that. The dealership was on Station Brow or Stanifield Lane (part of same road) in Leyland, Lancashire. I have looked on google and it isn't bringing up a thing (even in images).

 

1. Would this dealership have been a franchise?

2. Am I flogging a dead horse?

 

Thanks, as always.

If this was 1999 I would guess that this account has long since been paid off.

 

If you have no data on the account and given the length of time that has elapsed since it was paid off, I am sorry to say that there is very little chance of getting the data to establish a claim.

 

If they were a dealership then it is highly likely that it was Ford Credit who provided the finance. You could try a SAR to them but as I said, I would guess that your data has been destroyed long ago.

Thank you for the prompt response. It was Ford Credit, you jogged my memory, thank you. Found this thread about possibly going to the underwriter (see the last post)

I seem to recall getting the same patter from the sales person as the other CAG member in the OP of that thread. I do have some odd paperwork in the garage, so will give it a rummage through just in case. No harm in looking

 

Thanks again!!

Indeed....a good rummage is good for the soul

 

If you can find anything it would be really useful.

I think theres a thread here whereby they found data from the 90's and coughed

 

might be dreaming mind

I reclaimed ppl back from a mortgage , it's ran from 1988_1995 or there about ,also reclaimed ppi back from loan taken out in 1989 _1992 ,so go for it.

what with ford credit?

[filrobbo]

No not Ford credit , I was just pointing out you can go back some years , I have noticed some people think limitations is 6 years.

[ims21]

There is not time limit as such on PPI reclaims.

No not Ford credit , I was just pointing out you can go back some years , I have noticed some people think limitations is 6 years.

 

oh right so of no real relevance here then as the op said nothing about not being able to reclaim outside 6yrs?

what have we said before about posting simply for the sake of it......

I was just trying to give the op some advise ,because he said it was in 1999, just in case they say it's time bared.

Thanks all, my SAR is being posted today. Will see what they come back with.

 

I haven't been able to get in the garage yet, my old back has gone, so thought I may as well get the letter in the post.
