    I had a Company calling me asking who our Mortgage was with, when I told them it was GMAC they said I could be due compensation, as they were a sub prime lender and at the time we didnt need to use one as we had a very good credit score. But these Companies charge 25%!! :(

    It's a scam. Why on earth would you trust some random company who's cold called you? And how would they know what your circumstances were then?

    I had a call from a man who said he could change my life. I gave him £500 for magic beans. Turned out they were just beans. No magic whatsoever.

    Why have you been mis-sold? Had you ever considered it?

    Then you should contact the broker concerned outlining your case.
