PPI/Bankruptcy

Hi, hope you guys can help me.
I had a business account with Barclays that had a £5000 overdraft. In November 2008 Barclays contacted me and said I 'had' to convert my account to a personal loan, or they would call in the overdraft. When I visited the bank I was told I 'needed' PPI to facilitate acceptance of the loan. I was self-employed with pre-existing medical conditions which were not discussed. The PPI was a one-off premium added to the loan.

Unfortunately in May 2010 I had to declare bankruptcy, and obviously the Barclays loan was written off. In view of the bankruptcy, do I have a case for misselling of the PPI?:cool:
