Research forgotten credit card and loan providers

A question about : Research forgotten credit card and loan providers

I am sure I am not the first person to ask this question, but I have had quite a few different credit cards and loans over the years and cannot remember all of them.

I am wondering whether there is any way of tracing which cards and loans I have had, and the providers? Is there some kind of official register somewhere?

Can any of the companies offering to do the legwork for me do this - or do I need to tell them the banks involved myself before they can get to work?

And from what date does PPI mis-selling apply?
