some right fools on here....deserve what you get..as you are trying to rip off your credit card company...

We are not all fools and not trying to rip off card companys,some of our complaints are just,tucan claims were suppose to help genuine cases and are clearly ripping people off,there should be something out there that can help people get their money back.Some elderly people are very easily duped into this sort of thing through no fault of their own,for some their only income is their pension and someone must know where this company is based.Iwould be happy to put a positive message on this site for tucan claims if i had one.

Actually, you were trying to rip off the card company by finding loopholes to get out of having to pay your debts. it is possible that some of the people signed up with Toucan with legitimate complaints but this thread clearly has plenty who were greedy and got caught out.

You cannot scam an honest person most of the time. Age has little to do with it. Being told you can get your credit card written off by paying £x to a claims company is a good example of advance fee fraud. It relies on consumer greed to work. An honest person would pay back their debts and not be looking to shirk them.

Claims companies do this all the time. They cold call telling you that you "are entitled" to £5,000 or whatever. All you have to do is pay £495. Greedy consumer sees £5000 and thinks £495 is well spent. Honest consumer wouldn't fall for an advance fee scam as they wouldnt put in a fraudulent complaint.

How can you be ripping these big companies off? Think you are forgetting that these are multi (with a capital M) million £ companies out to make a profit at any cost and think they can get away with breaking the law in an effort to do so! They are NOT above the law!!!

Personally we have no debt what so ever- Cards always have and always will be paid off in full each month so this ain't as quoted!

It doesnt matter if they are joe bloggs one man band or some multi-national. Size is no excuse for putting in a fraudulent complaint and claim.

How are they ripping people off?

This is not about ripping card companys off,we do not owe anything,this is about claiming back falsely sold ppi insurances that are no good to people when they go to use it.However if tucan claims are takeing money from innocent people to do a job for them and not fullfilling their contract then they clearly are ripping people off.I would agree that it doesnt matter how big a company are no one has a right to falsely make claims against them but inocent individuals should not be ripped off either.This is not to say that tucan claims are false they may not be, but if not, they certainly need to pull their finger out and get on with what they are being paid for so people have no reason to complain and it doesnt end up costing them more than the claim is worth by them haveing to make so many unneccesssary expensive phone calls to this company to get their claim sorted.

dunstonh, one thing I have learnt in this life is to be beware of stupid people in large groups. Just leave it mate.

Not a good idea to let it drop if you have paid out money,and thanks to those who sent valid advise :mad:,stick together and in the end something will have to be done to uncover these scrupulous people.
Keep this going, let you know when something good happens dont give up.
