Loan now current account???

I took out a loan with HSBC a couple of years ago and know I took out PPI. I have had a few money problems and have defaulted on the loan. It has gone through their debt collection agency and I am now dealing with their solicitors. I now have an agreement in place and have been paying this for 5 months now.

I used the template on here to get all of the details of the loan and PPI but have received a letter back saying that section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 doesn't apply to current accounts.

I am confused as it was originally a loan but don't know why it is now classed as a current account.

Can I still reclaim my PPI from the time that I was paying the loan as agreed? If so how do I got about this??

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
