PPI claim confused.. Consumer credit company ???

As any one ever been thru this
I successfully claimed ppi January last year by doing it myself.in October I recieved a letter from a company who says they acted on my behalf and I was still due some more money.i sent the form back.the end of jan this year I recieved a letter saying I had been awarded 2,500 in ppi and my payment was to follow.the very next day I recieved there invoice to pay 600. For there services.its now beginning of May and I still haven't recieved a penny.ive rung barclays who have said they have not issued anymore ppi payments since jan 2013.when I'm phoning the claims company there saying they will get this consumer credit company to ring me..I'm confused.

    Sounds very much like you've been the victim of a scam. Have you already paid the £600 invoice?

    Name this company.

    It doesn't sound like there is any more money forthcoming. These companies can't extract any more money from the Bank than you have received already if your case was upheld.

    At least you haven't paid them anything in advance.
