CCS review - stop the scam

Lottiemay75

Hello all, I stupidly fell for these people, I have been through a month of hell trying to get the money back, I was told this morning it would be Friday after I caught them out by filling in an online firm in an assumed name of a company they said was unconnected with them and they called me back lol! I'll believe it when I see it!

I have decided to try and use the power of social media to close down this company, or to at least warn people but I've never done this before so bear with me being a novice!

If you would like to join me there is a Facebook group called ccs review scam where we will co-ordinate a campaign to get this awful company shut down and it's directors banned ...

At least I can put my stupidity to a good use and get something positive out of this awful experience

Why do you think they have suddenly started telling the truth.

Report the matter to consumer@claimsregulation.gov.uk and report the matter to your MP so they realise how inept the regulator is.

Tonight I was rang by this company offering to get £6998 back for me from a mortgage I took out in 1987. I listened for a while, but as soon as they asked for my credit card details I told them I was no longer interested and hung up. I cannot see how they can claim a particular amount without knowing the mortgage details.

Bearing in mind that even endowments were not regulated in 1987, it is pretty clear they are lying.

1 - how can they come up with a figure without analysing the current value/surrender value and your mortgage balance/repayments? (clue - they cant. it is made up).
2 - its pre-regulation. April 1988 is when regulated started.

The made up figure on compensation is the greed attempt in advance fee fraud. get you enticed by some big amount and if you are greedy, you will pay the small fee they introduce after they have you hooked.

Hi lottiemay,
Yes I'm sorry to say I was caught out as well, never thought I would EVER get caught but I did. They added £1800 to my credit card about a month ago then after I checked on this site I rang them up 2hours later to cancel as well as call Barclaycard to let them know. they told me I would be OK and not be charged for it but just to keep them informed of any changes. I rang CCS and they said they would send me a cheque for the £1800 and would be sent on the 20th of November, I thought I would give them a few days but I received a phone call on Monday to say (wait for it) the company have gone into liquidation and I would receive a call from the administrators within 3 weeks, it may be me just being cynical here but it was probably the same person who rang me to join this scam in the first place. I suppose I'll have to wait now and see what happens but I don't hold out much hope

Hi Mode 57,
I've been caught out by these crooks too. I'm trying to recover my money through my credit card. do you happen to know who the administrators are? Have you received your money back?

Best regards,

I just had a call from these guys, so they are clearly still operating and not in administration at all. Here's the number if it helps. 08008202160

I received a call from ccs about a week ago. They claim they can get me £14076 back off my mortgage..all they want is a fee of £495 debit card or £495 + 10% credit card. on the debit card thet will take 25% at the end when I receive my payout which should take 60-90 days. For the credit card they will take the final 15% at the end. I don't have a spare £495 to do this but however I was considering getting a 0% credit card and paying the fee with it. The company has not gone into liquidation as I phoned them back to clarify the upfront fee and they have emailed all the information and a money back guarantee if I don't get money back. Can someone offer me advise please as this £14076 would come in very handy to us.

Typical advance fee fraud figures. Make up some big figure to entice your greed. Give some story that may sound plausible but is complete BS and then hit you with a smaller fee which the greedy will willingly pay. If you watched Hustle, then you know the format.

I don't have a spare £495 to do this but however I was considering getting a 0% credit card and paying the fee with it.

Say goodbye to that £495.

which should take 60-90 days.

Another breach of Ministry of justice rules. They are not allowed to give unrealistic timescales. So, even in valid areas of complaint, you wouldnt get it resolved in that time.

The company has not gone into liquidation as I phoned them back to clarify the upfront fee and they have emailed all the information and a money back guarantee if I don't get money back.

If a company goes into administration they cannot honour the gurantee.

£14076 would come in very handy to us.

Its a made up figure. You are being scammed.

Think about it logically. Your details are not in the public domain other than the name of your lender which they can get from land registry records. They have no access to your mortgage details. They have no access to your personal details. No access to any of the documentation that exists relating to your mortgage. So, how have they determined you were mis-sold and how have they put a figure on it?

You are being scammed by a company that is being investigated by the Ministry of Justice.
