    I think you will find that grass roots are Cartel in a different guise - stay clear of ANY company that wants you to pay them to do what you can do yourself for £1
    ll they will do is get your CCA (thats what costs £1) and tell you if the agreement is enforcable or not, you can do that yourself if you look at the unenforcability thread and use the template letters!

    Edited to add, if you do go down the UE route, don't sign anything you send, and use a postal order to pay not a cheque!
