CardSentry or CCP?

Options
Hi having had my 'Sentinel credit card protection now cancelled' due to receiving compensation, I've been looking else where for credit card protection (24/7 assistance to cancel your lost or stolen cards and organise replacements) & was wondering which to choose between https://www.cppdirect.co.uk/ & http://www.cardsentry.com/ Both seem very similar just wondering if anyone had used either, had any problems or simply prerferred one because?

Appreciate any help

thx

    Why would you want to pay someone for that when you've just got a refund of premiums from another service offering a similar thing?

    Just ring up your bank if you lose the card, that way you will not be liable for any theft relating to the card and have peace of mind that the job is done rather than paying someone else?

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Hi......... liked the service 'Sentinel' provided being able to cancel all cards at once with one phone call, but also liked the compensation & other companies like CardSentry & CCP providing same service are cheaper also.

    Does beg the question why you complained about it being miss-sold if you wanted the service ;)

    Simply for the compensation & else where is cheaper providing the same service, I've found out since but initially it was mis-sold, hence the compensation.

    So you complained about a service you actually wanted just to get compensation, good going :)
