Lifestyle Claims

BinaryBailey

Hi All,

I had a call from these guys on Friday afternoon and I (stupidly) was hooked on a sales pitch regarding a recent court case that the banks lost that wasn't related to the PPI thing.

Eventually my common sense kicked in and came on this site and have just sent cancellation email and contacted credit card company to ensure that I get the money back.

Was very angry with myself for being fooled in the first place, but I am curious is whether people are claiming anything other than PPI and credit charges? The advisor mentioned something about the banks charging people too much interest...

Any thoughts would be appreciated

One good thing to take from this is that I am looking at my history of credit agreements to see if have a possible PPI claim.

More people need to be warned about these sharks!

I trust my little correction explains the point.

The level of interest charged is a matter of commercial judgement for regulated lenders and the judicial review WAS about PPI (although it might not be relevant to you).

They are not advisers. They are unqualified telesales people.

I have been aproached today by these people claiming I m owed around 20 thousand from my past morgages etc .The want £359.99 to start my claim and promise I`ll get it back if they`re not successful in three months.
I`m not going to pay upfront anymore as I lost £500 a couple of years back with Brunel Franklin who said all my c/card agreements were unenforcable then they were apparently not correct and did`nt pay back my payment either.Lifestyle claims told me that Brunel Franklin are no longer licenced does anyone know if thats true?

BF are still trading. The unenforceable credit was a bit of a dodgy area with many claims companies. They thought they found loopholes but the courts soon shut that down.

claiming I m owed around 20 thousand from my past morgages etc

How have they worked that out? Or is it a random figure plucked from thin air to entice you?


Take a look at the following link:

Now i get through to them immediately and i have been informed that they have had success with 4 out of the 5 credit cards and within 2 weeks i should receive my money. The clock is ticking as if this doesn't happen i will be making an official complaint to MOJ, Lifestyle know i have spoken to them.


Hi, did yoy get a response or a payout or your money back? I have progressed a claim with lifestyle and have already gone past the 14 days to get my money back so I am just wondering what my chances are of getting a claim back.

Thanks

Thanks for that.They didn`t have any actual figures to go on so your right they`re making it up as they go along
