Checking if you've had PPI is an easy process. To find out if you have PPI on your finance product, you just need to phone the loan or credit supplier. To get started all you'll need to provide is your name, date of birth and address.

Many providers now offer online checking tools to help you check if you've had PPI, and will usually get back to you within 8 weeks.

PPI was usually sold with other products like a loan, credit card, store card, mortgage, overdraft or car finance deal - so check your paperwork for loan or credit products you've had. Whilst you don't need your paperwork to check, it may help to speed up the process.
