Ppi help!

Hi all, so many pages re PPI, thought I would add to it!!

I am currently looking into claiming back my PPI on couple old loans. I don't remember ever asking for PPI and certainly can not ever remember getting it explained to me, in fact I believe on one of my loans it was already preselected and I just signed.

My question is re an exisiting loan I have with paragon. Its a fairly large loan of £20,000 and I am paying just short of £78 a month PPI. Is it worth my while asking them for copy of my signed agreement for first? I have the 2nd copy of my agreement that they ask you to keep for files. It already has PPI premium in Key information but there are tick boxes at bottom of form asking what level of PPI cover I want and I do not know what/if I selected on original form. Can you try and reclaim even if you selected it but don't believe it was explained to you?

The loan was originally processed through loans.co.uk and can't remember how a lot of this paperwork was done. I have another 6 years of the loan left, will they cancel my loan if I try to reclaim PPI? Heard loads of horror stories re bank charges. I think I would like some protection for accident/redundancy but would like to think I can get it cheaper than £78 a month, what type of policy is recommended?

So for all the questions I am bit clueless when it comes to these insurances.

One final question are claims successful just by stating you wouldn't have taken it out had it been explained to yourself fully?
