Anyone heard of a claim management company called ifonic?

As a single mum, surely youd have preferred being £4800 better off in return for filling in a few forms and licking a few stamps?

Of course, but to be honest I didn't even know I was entitled to this refund so would have spent many years oblivious and probably never made a claim. I'm not a greedy person, I work hard for what I earn, but any extra money is a bonus, so i have to look on the bright side.

Sorry, no offence meant here, but I find it amusing how newbies are posting about their success stories with Ifonics as soon as their shameless tactics are exposed on major forums.

In addition to that, I also find it highly amusing that anyone with any decent legal qualifications would say that claiming via Ifonics would be beneficial. Any solicitor worth their salt would recommend doing a claim yourself for the cost of a few stamps & recorded delivery.

So if someone else gets a call from Ifonics, would you recommend that they lick their own stamps and keep the extra two grand themselves?

Well clearly my comments, meant to be constructive are just going to criticised. I will not apologise for being honest and I do not regret following through with this claim, although I now regret thinking this was a site worth commenting.

I may be naive, so what, it's no crime! As for "legal" comments, I did not say that the friend advised me either way, it was my choice and it could have gone either way I know. But it went in my favour thankfully. I do not appreciate the tone of comments, it was not my intention to get into a slanging match and will not be drawn into one. I was totally stating fact.

Clearly that is not appreciated here.

And ChilliP, I may be a 'newbie' but I did read this site when I first had a call from the company in March, after which I was pretty convinced the money was lost anyway, I decided I had nothing left to lose...

I am not trying to advise people to do the same, I just felt my story should be told too.

If people have the time and know they have a claim, then of course I would say lick those stamps and get the money back.

I did what was right for me, it does not mean it will be the same for everyone.

Thank you MagpieCottage, it's comforting to know that someone out there knows his'her stuff and is prepared to share that knowledge with victims of these scams. I certainly feel better now that you have pointed out certain aspects that go against the MoJ's code of conduct.

I hope I have managed to convince you that I am not a puppet of Cliff S and his Ifonics company.

Good luck with your quests!
