[payless]

Now part of a larger group.

Not sure about current practices, but believe they used to charge fees.

just been cold called by them

that practice is soon to be banned in mortgage industry-

Extract from FSA guidelines -

We think that cold-calling can expose consumers to high pressure sales tactics which mean that they end up with an inappropriate or over-expensive product (or service). Our financial promotion rules therefore ban unsolicited real-time promotions (cold calling) unless there is a pre-existing customer relationship through which the consumer expects to receive such promotions

Don't go within 100 miles of this company, they are so. unprofessional.

I thought cold calling had been banned for a couple of years?

Web site very unprofessional, doesn't say if regulated by the FSA, no link to IDD, nothing really.

[dunstonh]

It has been barred. This thread is from 2004. A couple of weeks before cold calling (and mortgage regulation in general) came in.

[rickybobby]

They will not cold call, that is not allowed, and they will be able to prove it, they are a very proffessional company who provide an excellent service, fees are just one small part of any mortgage deal, people need to think long term!!!! I work for a simarlar type of company and sick of narrow minded remarks.

[rickybobby]

Did you perhaps used to work for this company? you seem to have some bitterness towards them? Very strange!

[dunstonh]

I dont like scumbag claims companies that lie to get money out of consumers on cases where there is little or no chance of success.

dunstonh - i think you will find that they are not a claims management firm.

There was a post before mine from a claims company. The board removed it as spam.
