Is this PCP company a scam? Help!

I was recently looking for a new car via PCP and clicked on a few sites for quotes from looking around on the internet.One company came back to me with the quote and approval for contract hire that I was looking for.
I am due to be taking delivery of the car at the end of the month but have a niggling feeling this is a scam....
The company that initially contacted me was Charterhouse Asset Finance and then passed my details onto Fleet Street Ltd once I had accepted the quote.
I have checked the FSA financial services register and Fleet street are on the register, but the scanned letters both companies have emailed me mention nothing of being regulated by the FSA on the footer of the letter (I work for a bank and expect to see this on all client communication) / nor have i been sent out anything in the post - its all scanned and sent via email .
I am nervous that nothing has been sent out to me in hard copy and that the fees (£125) are the scam for me to pay up and never see the car.
Has anyone dealt with these companies as i cannot find any reviews online to suggest this is not a legitimate company... or what I should be asking them to do to prove legitimacy
(feel very silly as working in finance)
Thanks!
