Hi have recently made a ppi claim( only 1 wk ago) on a loan I had with barclays back in 2002 but then topped it up in 2004 & then 2006 the loans now paid off , I was never made aware ppi was optional & it was packaged as a condition of getting the loan . Plus at the time was in a job that gave me sufficient cover / insurance . I have used ombudsman form online so waiting to hear but just wandered if anyone else has been in a similar situation & had successful claims? I'm aware this can take a long long time!!! But just interested in other peoples experiences.
