Dawn, I can recall the serps situation. It was all the rage selling in the bank I used at the time, 25 years ago. I didn't do it and glad now i didn't. But recently have seen ads for compensation for these schemes, in a similar way to ppi (and certain endowment mortgages). It may well seem like you would have a case for being missold. It could be worth a quick Google to see if such things do in fact exist.
