PPI claim

My mother has just phoned me and informed me that she received just over £8000 back from a PPI claim.

I was thrilled, until she told me she used a company she noticed advertising on TV and that she paid them £2000 + £700 VAT for their help after she received her cheque from Barclays!

She's thrilled because she wasn't expecting anything, but I haven't informed her that she could have saved £2700 by sending off the forms herself! :mad:

Not so much a question, more a rant!

    Nothing much you can really say about it now, but :mad::mad:
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...
