Hi There,
I wonder if anyone out there can help me? I had a phone call from a company called Bently & co (there E-mail adderss is bentlyco.co.uk) asking the question, had i ever had my credit limil increced & if so they could get my remaining balance written off. They said they could also reclaim any monies i had paid for PPI. they told me they are registed with the ministry of justice. I went as far as to check thier website which does seem to show they are registerd wiht the ministy of justice. I am usualy very cautious but felt this seemed o.k. They told me they would send me documents by return of post to sign & return to them & they would do the rest, & it could take bettween 12-24 weeks to complete the claim.
I asked how much it would cost me & was told £295.00 per claim.
As I had 15 different claims this was a total of £4,425.
I was told this would be added to some of my existing credit cards & would be paid of by the balance write off.
This all happened on the 29/12/09 as of today I have seen no documentation.
I did stupidly pay the above amount. Because of the amount involved this I had to spread over three different cards.
This evening I checked two of my accounts & found the payment had gone to a company call BRYANT & BROWN LTD.
I checked this companies website but it said under maitenence.
Ithen did a bit of searching & found this thread
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP OR HAVE I BEEN CONNED? HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

Irony is a wonderful thing.
You were trying to con your lenders, and you get stiffed in the process.

Poetic justice for the slow of thought! :T

BS!

Heard it all claiming to have a balance wiped because the credit limit has been upped.
People need to take stock of the situation and their own actions.

When you think about it, I'm sure a lot of folk jumped at the chance of their being an opportunity to claim on this, without sadly thinking about the fact that it could only be a scam. Scumbags, tbh.
