Do a SAR if you don't believe them, but I doubt they're lying.0

I think this is what The Investor (from Monevator.com) was writing about here: http://monevator.com/the-really-obvious-thing-we-all-forget-when-borrowing-money/
You were borrowing from "your future self", and now you are feeling the pain.
Plasterer44, please read the above link. Read it properly. Read it several times. Think about it a lot. Hopefully it will help you get to a better place financially in the future.
As zx81 says, get an SAR, but I too doubt they are lying.Goals

Subject Access Request.
A subject access request (SAR) is simply a written request made by or on behalf of an individual for the information which he or she is entitled to ask for under section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA)This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

What was the rate of interest on the loan? Did you miss any payments? What's your credit history like?
These are all things which will affect the total amount you repay, so while £23k interest on a £17k loan seems a lot, there's probably more to it than mis-sold PPI.0
