    Yes. Don't employ them in the first place.

    If you do, then it is too late to complain about it afterwards. As much as I dislike claims companies, they have every right to be paid for doing the job you employed them today. Even if it was a simple job that you agreed to overpay them for.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    That's a little blunt, but I have to agree there is absolutely no point in complaining about the amount they charge after they have done their "job" on the complainant's behalf.

    You only have grounds for complaint if you can show a breach of "The Conduct of Authorised Persons Rules 2007, published by the Ministry of Justice.
