Wallis Store Card Accounts
If you took out a Wallis store card in the 1990s or 2000s you might be owed money.
Shoppers who signed up to a Wallis store card also had payment protection insurance (PPI) available to them but if the PPI was mis-sold, then compensation may be due.
However, there is a deadline from the Financial Conduct Authority of 29 August 2019.
If you have a mis-selling claim with Wallis about how PPI was sold to you, it must be received by Wallis on or by 29 August 2019.
Wallis Store cards were sold as a convenient line of credit for customers who could not or did not want to pay in full in one transaction.
Generally, many retailers made a profit on shoppers who failed to pay off the balance on the card each month, when outstanding balances would attract interest charges of up to 30%.
Strict regulations were introduced in 2011 to prevent shoppers falling into debt and the government banned commission and upfront discounts being associated with store cards.

- Wallis didn’t check to see if you already had this type of insurance cover through your employer or another policy.
