    I've really got to sort mine out as everything is all over the house but I was wondering how long things like credit card/bank statements should be kept for?

    I've just quickly googled and it says 6 or 7 years as thats how far disputes can go back.

    Personally I don't keep any statements.

    6-7 years! Oh blimey. I think I'd rather shred the lot than keep it all. Thanks for looking SW x

    We have recently thrown out all bank statements as they just fill up boxes and it's ridiculous. It's all online anyway!

    That's true, I did the online statement thing a couple of months back. It's just rest of the statements to sort.

    I think I've kept nearly every single bank statement I've ever had. I realise that's rather extreme and I should really have a sort out!

    That's true Twink, I had forgotten about reprints.  I'm going to tackle the paperwork next week as it's getting beyond a joke here. I found another stash of papers in a cupboard, goodness knows how long it's been there!

    Mine are all filed away going back years. It did come in handy when claiming PPI as Barclays took ages to reply, but I found the statements that proved we had PPI.

    It does take a while for me to get round to actually file it though. I could do with sorting it out again.
