    Why? :confused:
  • I thought it was a number of things. it could have been one of oh's friends calling or it could have been about a job i applied for so had to call to find out.

    You're entitled to your money back if you send the pack back within 14 days. Send it recorded delivery with a covering letter, keep copies etc.

    It's better to claim your PPI back yourself if you feel it was mis sold. Don't use claims companies unless you want to give away the money you have claimed back to another company.

    There's lots of helpful stuff on this board. ;)
  • I also had dealings with this company> At first i was really impressed with there info, i was then passed on to a gentleman who then read me there terms and conditions this sounded perfect and that i would get my money by christmas. He then asked for one simple thing....... my debit or credit card details, as i declined i was told they would call back to give me a chance to think about it. Twice in 1 week i was called but i was not available, then one night they called and i told the polite girl that i was not happy with passing on my bank info, then a guy came to the phone with the gift of the gab calling me love dear (I'M 28) when i told him no thanks and that my bank and also brother in law (who is a solicitor) said under no circumstance i should give this info i was given a mouth full of abuse. He called me arrogant, unpleasent and when i got there compony name wrong he then quating "!!!!! get my compony name right". If this a genuine compony then they should sack that plonker.
  • well done. i made the mistake of giving them my details and they took money out even when i did not return the agreement form. they also use a 3rd party company, First Credit Management Services, for the payment and they were rude when called them. i've got my money back by cheque so hopefully i won't that mistake again.
  • another thing, their T&C is printed so small you can hardly read a thing. a clever way to hide the huge APR they charge.
