Hsbc ppi successes stories etc

Hi, Im new to all this, but about 2 months ago I made a claim for PPI to HSBC, I got a letter back today stating they are offering me £232 but they do not accept the allegations I made of mis selling but are prepared to settle the complaint.
But the original figure with the loan was £290.16 and this loan was took out 6 years ago. The figures in the letter are as follows

Original Loan protection premium £290.16
Term of Loan 24 Months
APR of Loan 16.9%
PPI Premium Redress £146
Plus taxable interest at 8% £75
Plus early repayment costs inlcuding 8% interest £11

OFFER £232

Is this HSBC trying to "fob" me off with a reduced figure although im entitled to more? Have they tried this tactic with others?

BAring in mind I defaulted on the loan and it was passed to a collection agency, but I did eventually pay back the amount through the collection agency. Whether that is relevant Im not sure, any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Did you settle the loan early?

    I defaulted on the loan approx 6 months after taking it out. This debt plus the interest of missed payments was passed onto a debt collection agency, which I then paid off over a few years etc. Whether this is relevant Im not sure

    its relevant as it indicates that you never paid the full PPI premium.
