    Not heard of them but I reccommend you do it yourself. Its easy and you will get more satisfaction if you do it yourself.
    Go for it!
    Stick to YOUR timescale. Dont take ANY bull. DONT be intimidated. The law is on OUR side.
    :o Feel free to thank me if I was a help :o

    If you want to give them a cut of 25%.....go for it!

    Much more rewarding doing it yourself and so easy.

    these companies are all very new companies and normally tend to have little reputations. Part of the process is giving them access to your bank account details. Whos to say a few months down the line you dont end up with debts you never signed for.

    Why oh why would you employ (and pay) a company, to do exactly what you can do yourself - all the information is on this website.

    My husband followed all the instructions, filled in and sent of the relevent forms (all on the website) and has just received £2700 back from Lloyds TSB

    Don't give any company the satisfaction, or your money they don't do anything extra that you wouldn't do yourself ... and after all isn't it all about Consumer revenge

    What are peoples opinions on these firms that are advertising to claim your bank charges back for you and take the hassle out of it for you for a small fee?

    Anyone tried if so what was the outcome?

    My advice is don't use them. They're simply cashing in. You can do everything yourself, all the help you need is available for free.
  • I use this company to reclaim my charges in December 06 I recieved a letter from them in January informing me that the request for the data had been sent. I have heard nothing since and i am getting a bit concerned has anyone had any success with this company.

    Very odd name for a solicitor. Why bother being represented?

    I have removed the website link as this company was only registered in February 2007 so hardly a company that is well established.

    Beware using any of these companies, particularly if you read the previous posts you'll see that if you are successful but your monies are paid towards a closed/debt account you will still be liable for their fee.
