    all my creditors are up to date i was claiming ppi back but im still out of pocket with plisl but thanks for your comment
  • Hi all. They got me as well. How do we claim our money back from the credit card company pls and what's section 75? Do we just phone and ask?
    Thanks
  • And has anyone successfully claimed back their payment from a credit card company?
  • Help!!! I went with these lot a year ago, and been chasing for a few months, never getting the person dealing with my case. Finally told them I'm cancelling, want a refund - and they now have a phone number that doesn't answer, seems like they have disappeared. Come on people - what can we do? There is a lot of money out there? Anybody know if we can claim it back through the credit card used to pay these b**stds?
  • You need to ring your credit card company and ask to speak to the legal team and try to claim it back through the section 7 of the consumer credit act 1974, good luck.
  • I've received a letter from the financial ombudsman this morning saying that they cannot deal with my claim through Park Lane as they are not authorised and will in future deal direct with me.
    Looks like Park Lane did do something for the money. And I now have official proof that these people are no longer trading so will attempt to get back my money from the credit card I used to pay the. Watch this space!
  • I have just soken to MOJ they said i can claim the money back under section 75 credit card claim

    I have just spoken to Halifax who's card i used to pay £741 for the scam service and i now have to write about what has happened and they will look into it so hopefully will get the money back
