Hi........in August 2008 i hired a reclaiming company 'i-sm@rt' to claim on my behalf for 10%, anyway they say they have successfully secured my claim and are now asking for there fee several times through the post and by email, i have not yet recieved my money from who i am claiming off and ismart must send me a form to sign to allow the completion of claim saying i agree, which they still have not sent me.....i have spoken to 5 different people at ismart asking for this form and each one including a manager has said they have sent it even by email and fax and it still has not arrived.

I am now starting to think something is up..what, i'm not sure.

Thanks for any input if you understand first that is :rolleyes:

    so they are asking you to pay them their fee without you first having sight of proof that they have recovered your money ? Sounds dodgy to me - if they had recovered your money why could they not deduct their agreed fee and forward you the balance ? Please be very careful and think hard before sending any payment to them !

    I suspect if you pay their fee they will run and you will not receive a penny - hope I am wrong.
