They can take what you agreed to when you signed the document. If that is more than 25% then yes they can.
That's subject to UCTA [Unfair Contracts & Terms Act], or if you were misled.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0 -
well thats a bit better!..and we are going to make sure they havnt misled us in any way before we cough up, thanks guys
Good stuff.
Best asking them for their SRA number first - if they are claiming to be a Solicitor(s).
Equally, if they are only a Claims Management Company, they have to pay a fee and be registered with the Ministry of Justice and listed online.
If neither of the above, they are not authorised to provide the service they did and cannot recover £ from you if they are not registered with either body.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer.

£1,760.64. Wow that's a lot
For decent legal representation, it's not a great amount.
OP, please do not think of declaring a false figure to them. They have the details of your claim, they can easily calculate what you have received. Why are you so intent on getting out of what you agreed to pay?0 -
bit harsh that!
no intention of defrauding them but not going to pay them a penny more than we should
their estimated bill was a fraction of what we actually got so it just got me wondering how many people give them a false figureThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Then rather than playing games ask for a copy of the terms and conditions you agreed to - and if you find yourself in a similar situation in future, make sure you read what you're signing up to

As tomtontom says, you really do need to read what you signed up to...an Estimate is just that - no better than a guess.0
