can I reclaim PPI sold on loans from a 'private company i.e. not a bank

We had loans from a company some years ago and they wouldn't let us have a loan unless we took out PPI and also bought such things as breakdown cover etc! We were quite clueless at the time and just needed the loan so signed up. Can this now be reclaimed or is only the banks that you can claim from? Thanks

    If the firm was regulated at the point of sale then you can complain. However, if it was a condition of borrowing then that itself is not a reason for complaint. They are allowed to insist on insurance. It is when that is a lie that it becomes a valid complaint reason.
