Do I accept Lloyds offer - Does it make sense?

Hi everyone,
Hoping that someone can make better sense of a reply I have received from Lloyds about a PPI claim on a personal loan. The loan was taken out a long time ago, more than 6 years but I couldn't remember any details so I submitted a claim using the Resolver tool. After a couple of letters to say they are investigating, they have replied with an offer of £179.74 for the commission they earned from my loan PPI. The decision on the actual PPI though, they state "Not reviewed in time limits / unfair relationship created". They basically say that as it has been more than 3 years ago since they wrote to me to explain failings in PPI sales, they cannot review my PPI mis-selling concerns.
To me it reads tht I did have PPI but they won't review it because of this 3 years clause. But they are willing to pay me back the commission they earned from it.
Any ideas how I should approach this? or just pay in the cheque for £179.74 when it arrives?
Any help very much appreciated.
Mike

Your complaint about PPI sale has been rejected due to the time bar - unless you moved house more than 3 years ago in which case you can appeal it. If you did not move house then the time bar is correct - sending you a letter inviting a complaint about PPI is sufficient to trigger this.
As it was rejected they look at Plevin and have paid you the commission.
The 3 year rule is set in stone if applied correctly, the FOS cannot do anything about it.0 -

That means you are timebarred from complaint and only Plevin can apply. Which they have done.Any ideas how I should approach this? or just pay in the cheque for £179.74 when it arrives?
The 3 and 6 year rule is an FCA and if the bank sent you a CCL (as they say) and it was more than 3 years ago, then they are correct to bar your complaint.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
