There is no requirement that interest is only deductible when loans are furnished by a licensed lender or finance company.
The lender may have a requirement to report the interest as interest income, but whether or not it is deductible depends on the vehicle's use. Is this a business use or personal use only vehicle? Or some combination of the two?
