How did you get on?? As the exact same is happening to me now said 25% on phone now want 39% plus vat

Has anyone succeed in refusing to pay 39% + VAT. I was quoted 30%including VAT and that all the work would be completed by them, however the bank would only deal with me direct.

I got quoted 10% over the phone, they didn't say including or excluding VAT but assumed it would include, the contract I signed was altered after they received it to show 39% + VAT. Just to be clear, the contract had a blank space which they must have run through their printer again with the added text.
Did a search through credit safe and they have downgraded their credit limit to Cash transactions only. Companies house have them in default as they have failed to file their confirmation statement. In their accounts Ibrar Akbar has had to prop up the company by half a million, therefore I don't give it very long. They are also offering Pension advice without being FCA or FSA registered. It looks ready to go pop. Hopefully the appeal will with Claims Management Regulator is dismissed, though I expect we have to wait a year for that.

I am holding on and waiting for them to sue me, though I would be very surprised if a Judge would award them any of their fees considering their conduct. I'm also going to counter claim harassment.

Interestingly RBS will not deal with them at all, even though they are pending appeal, that calls into question how they can operate as any claim to RBS will be ignored.

Many banks will not deal with CMCs directly because they know they will hear 1001 identical template stories which may have little or no link to the truth so they will accept the complaint from the CMC (which they have to do as you give the CMC the authority to do so) but then they contact you to get accurate data.

If you have a legally binding contract a judge will side with the firm, their other behaviour is irrelevant

Also of note is that current payments to Harrington's you may make, are going to another company (Newmount Reclaim Ltd).


As this is a different company this may be in contravention of their terms and conditions. It will certainly make claiming against them trickier.


It look to me very likely they are running the company into the ground.

I was contacted by harringtons last year I told the caller I had a DAS debt arrangement scheme and my wife had been Bankrupt I was told that wasn't a problem there was was of dealing with that, I now find that was wrong in fact a lie any, money due would be seen as an assets at the time of the DAS / Bankruptcy and there for could or will be held by the back and any other debtors I still owe, however harringtons would still want 39% of the initial offer! In essence I could be very out of pocket. Also they are now asking me to send any communication from the back to them as the bank RBS will not deal with them directly so I am doing there work. So I'm thinking they are in breach of there contract with me as they don't or can't act for me? And they lied to me at the initial point?

I just seen the companies house for Newmount Reclaim and thought a name of directors looked familiar. I then looked on endole information site, and it says it has a mutual company which is harringtons advisory Mr Aleem Mehdi Khan is directors of both companies .wonder if they will use this as a backup company when harringtons goes. And just trade under newmount reclaim name instead. Just a thought !

I contacted the claims management regulator, the appeal is scheduled for June 2017. If harringtons win this, it will be a sad day.

Back in March I had a letter from Harringtons saying they'd transferred to PPI Claims Team Ltd. some paperwork came from PPI Claims team but it had Harringtons reference numbers on it even though it appears to be a totally different company. I have reported it to the claims management regulator as it's all rather odd to say the least as this company is chasing a PPI claim that Harringtons found not them. My bank are refusing to deal with them and are looking into things anyway. I suspect this company is linked to Harringtons and as per the previous post Harringtons have had their authority ceased in February 2017 pending appeal. Yes I know I was stupid to authorise Harringtons in the first place but you live and learn. When you do internet digging you can find quite a bit out so I don't think it'll be long until PPI Claims team ltd will go in the same direction as Harringtons.

Just tried the harringtons website and it says "The site harringtonsadvisory co uk has been disabled. Please contact support."

Is this the death knell for the company from hell?:D

No doubt they will phoenix the company and kick off again, Let's hope the directors are investigated by the Police.
