    The plot thickens - a letter arrived today from them asking all the same questions I had already answered and again asking for my card details. They say unable to go ahead with claim without card. Very small print in T & C says "if going to Court, you grant us the right to appoint Solicitors of our choice...etc. This lot are NOT Solicitors and their appointed Solicitor would not be NWNF.
    To quote the Dragons, "I'm out"
    I'll look elsewhere, thanks for all your help.

    Can you name them to warn others?

    Claims Financial - Bristol

    Quote from Terms and Conditions
    "A3) General Terms - Payment of Fees, Your Obligations and Ours
    Running Your Claim
    It shall be at the Company's discretion as to whether the claim should be fought through Court proceedings or by some other means. Further, the Company has discretion to cease from acting after commencing but this would be at no cost to you. You agree to accept our decisions and recommendations in this regard. If Court proceedings are necessary, you agree to us instructing a firm of Solicitors on your behalf, and you agree to co-operate fully with any firm which is instructed."

    Please tell me if I've misunderstood something, but it looks to me as though they could take any case to Court with Solicitors of their choice and if they win charge their fees plus those of the other Solicitor, or if they lose just charge whatever they like for the non NWNF man. This fee could easily include a back hander for CF

    To be frank, I would avoid ever using companies such as these.

    I agree. In scenarios like this they are entirely unnecessary middle men.
