Reclaiming Solicitors fees

Options
Has anyone had any experience in a "law" firm cold calling and claiming to be able to reclaim solicitor fees upto £1000's when we bought our ex council house on a right to buy scheme, and the mortgage broker got their own solicitor arrangements done and fees put on mortgage. I haven't named the company cos I don't know if I am allowed. They said it was a "new thing". Also web address was "under construction". Please inform...

    A good reason to avoid.

    Did you pay thousands in solicitors fees?

    If not (and probably not) how can they claim back something you havnt paid, even with the interest on the fees it wouldnt amount to thousands.
