    You are out of luck.

    They wouldn't have been regulated prior to Janaury 14th 2005, so you couldn't have used the FOS and because they sold it to you before this date, you can't use the FSCS either.

    Sorry.

    It's not really a matter of whether you've a case to answer. More the fact that there's nobody to answer it.

    If you took the loan through Paragon Personal Finance, you would have dealt with their representative meaning any mis-selling complaint would be against them. However, as general insurance was not FSA regulated until 2005, they can dismiss it out of hand and FOS can't intervene.

    No joy on this one I'm afraid.
