Black Horse again PPI

Hi
Wonder if someone can perhaps give me a steer.
In essence I paid PPI to Black Horse when I took out a loan for double glazing through a company who have now gone out of business prior to 2005.
I have tried to reclaim PPI from Black Horse on 2 counts 1) I didnt need it as I was covered by work and 2) the salesman said I would be guaranteed the loan if I did take it out as my partner had a CCJ.
Black Horse state that as it was not sold by them then I do not have a case because the double glazing company has gone out of business,
Surely it's their product and I have paid them so therefore they should bear some responsibility as to how their product was being sold?

    AKAIK your claim would be against the company who actually sold you the cover/loan. In this case the double glazing company the salesman worked for.

    Hi and welcome

    If they have gone under, maybe you can ring the Financial compensation scheme (FSCS) to ask if they are listed with them, if they are you can put in a claim through these.
    Contact them on here:

    Please let us know how you get on, we can take it from there, good luck.;)

    If your loan was prior to 14th january, 2005 then you cannot go to the FSCS but FOS are looking at cases like that against the insurers/underwriters.

    Do you know who the insurer was?
  • Im guessing the Insurer would be lloyds as Blackhorse has links to them but to be honest I have no idea. I probably should write to Black Horse and ask the question.
