Car finance claiming help

I bought a car with Forthright finance about 6 years ago, I can't remember the details exactly but I know it was a rip off as I didn't have great credit at the time, can I claim for PPI on that, I have no idea where to start, but I reckon they owe me a fortune. Any help would appreciated.

    Hi there

    If you were mis sold the PPI for any reason, they write to reclaim on this.

    More information on the link below with templates, write your own reasons, and they have 8 weeks to respond in full.
    keep on at them until you receive the final response, in the final letter response they should give you details of the Financial ombudsman service (FOS) if eligible to take this direction afterwards, if your not satified with the outcome.;)
    Good luck.

    Thanks for your reply, to be honest I didn't even know about it, I was a bit naive at the time and had passed my test and was desperate for a car, I thought the replayments were high, but it was the only way to get a car, as I didn't have great credit!

    I have send off the letter, so fingers crossed.
