AIMS Review

balletrocks

This company is as dodgy as they come. They cold call you and then lie through their teeth to get you on board. They tell you that they can claim back thousands on your behalf and all they need from you is £500. What they don't tell you is that you must do all the running around for them and they will get 25% of every claim.
If you try to get out within the 14 day cooling off period they have a script of yet more well rehearsed lies. "But we can get you more than you can get if you go it alone because we have more clout with the lenders". This is something they will later deny ever saying if you challenge them on it.
They also have number recognition on their phone system, so if you become troublesome to them, (as I did) then you will be kept waiting in a very long phone Que, listening to the most irritating hold music until your phone bill is far higher than any money they can get you back.

I have used AIMS and they have got me £15,000 in charges etc back!! They DO charge 30%...but it was hassle free and thats what I wanted. Took 3 months from start to finish. They've also done my mothers accounts. No scam here as far as I'm concerned!

Out of curiosity and without intentionally causing an argument, do you work for Aims by any chance?

Even if you are telling the truth, you and your mother LOST thousands of pounds that AIMS charged you for doing something you could have done yourself for free.
