Obvious troll is obvious
I strongly suspect ppidisgrace, blindedbymediapropaganda and pickledeggs are all the same person. I'm quite amused by the idea of him staging these little conversations with himself while trying to add a degree of credibility to his claims. He could at least have put a little more effort in and created different writing styles for his 'characters'
They have all posted a great deal, but not one has clearly stated why a claims company can do anything that an individual cannot. There is no legal wrangling here. The complaint is submitted, evaluated and a final response is given. If the customer remains unhappy they refer the matter to the FOS. Statistically CMCs are no more likely to be successful than a lone complainant. In fact, if I was a lender I would be prejudiced against, and suspicious of, claims submitted by CMCs as so many are fraudulent.0 -

I have no idea why they selected this Financial Advisor, she makes a very simple process sound very confusing! The presenter's 'summary' then just compounds the confusionA terrible choice!
She is not a financial adviser. I just checked the FSA register and there is no-one with her surname on the FSA register.
You are right though. She makes a right pigs ear of explaining it. There is no requirement to get any agreements. If you have a complaint then you make it. You dont need to use the £1 CCA or £10 DSAR method. You dont even need to use the questionnaires (although it may help those that cant write letters very well)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.0 -

I have no idea who the other 2 are. In fact i think if you actually look close enough PPIDISGRACE seems to use broken English ! (Sorry PPIDISGRACE but its true) I also have no idea about pickledeggs but totally agree with his logic. Why dont you just stop insulting us and actually listen to what we are trying to tell you? I have nothing to gain by posting on this forum and as i have already said i will gladly help anyone on here for free !

BLINDEDBYMEDIAPROPAGANDA I am not defending lenders I am defending the right of ordinary people to keep 100% of THEIR money. Terms like ‘compensation’ and ‘winning’ muddy the waters here. People are not being compensated in the traditional sense they are actually being refunded their own money, albeit often with 8% interest. If I bought a jumper online that was advertised as being ‘navy blue’ and when it arrived it was actually bright pink. I could say this item had been falsely advertised and mis-sold to me. I would return this item and receive a refund of my money. I would not pay someone 30% of my refund to send the parcel on my behalf!0

According to LinkedIn she is actually the MD of a debt advisory company.0 -

I am not 'ranting' I was merely responding to your accusation I have some kind of affiliation with a lender. I do not.0 -
"Banks are writing to millions of customers advising them that they may have been mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), following the release of new guidelines by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
The FSA estimates that between four million and 12 million letters will be sent out, but not everyone who has been mis-sold PPI will receive a letter as banks are only required to write to those who have been ‘systemically mis-sold’"
Anyone received one of these letters, doubt it!!!0
