Sorry! The dreaded PPI

But has anyone followed up a claim and if so, how did you get on?

I've just started by writing to my old building society where I obtained my first mortgage to get info on the PPI I took out with that mortgage. I remember being told I had to have it as a condition of my mortgage offer. I paid around £25 per month from 1999-2006 before we took out a new mortgage with another provider and were advised to cancel it by a family friend.

I've been meaning to look into it, but it's one of those jobs that you never get round to doing. Want a holiday next year so thought I'd try my luck!
