Just use the template letter here. No need to pay anyone for the privalige of doing it for you. Money better off in your pocket than theirs.
ETA: Ignore what they say to you. They're only after their money. They cant get it done any better than you can, and you dont need legal forms for it either.I know my spelling is shocking :eek: It is alot better than it used to be though :rotfl:0 -

That was one of the "phrases" that the MoJ told claims companies to stop using as it doesnt take 6-8 weeks. It doesnt even take 6-8 months.I am now getting Cold Calls from companies saying that they can get my claim sorted in 6-8 weeks
Any company making false and almost fraudulent claims to get your business is probably treating your business in a similar matter if you sign up with them.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -

Tell them to get stuffed!. I had a call from one of these companies, two years ago, shortly before the test case began.0
