The Office of Fair Trading issues the licenses and holds the Public Register of such companies.

I had a quick look and found:

How to find out if a lender is licensed

The Consumer Credit Public Register lists everyone with an OFT licence as well as everyone who has applied for one or has had one taken away or suspended. It’s free to get basic information from the register, including trading names and the activities for which a business is licensed.

To search the public register, telephone 020 7211 8608 between 9.30am and 4pm Monday to Friday.

Hope it helps.
