We Fight Any Claim cold call

Just had a cold call from the above re possible PPI on any loans and credit cards I might have had.
I informed him I did not have any and he was wasting his time.
He went on about 'How could I be sure?'
I then informed him that I work in the industry and have to deal with PPI claims every workday. If I did have any then I would be applying myself, unfortunately I do not.
He then went on to say how stressful it could be and their *lawyers* are experienced in these claims.
I said all you have to do is fill in a form, how stressful is that.?
He then wished me good night and hung up.

solicitors cannot take business from cold calls and of course you know as well as I that they dont use anyone legal at all.
The same company cold called me and tried to persuade me that I could complain about insurance I set up myself (as an IFA). I said, why would I want to use a claims company to complain to myself and insurance I put in place for myself (none of which was PPI). She still didnt get it.
Most are scumbagsI am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
