    What is the nature of your complaint?

    Do you feel it is a valid one?

    They have contacted me and say I have a claim.

    What a surprise.
    Is it worth continuing with this or is it a waste of time?

    If you throw enough mud at 1000 cases then chances are one or two of those cases will have a failing and result in redress. The other 998 will get nowhere but the CMC will have earned money from being able to package the cases and sell on. Either to mugs funding via crowdfunding or a solicitor who hasn't got their fingers burnt yet.

    As of yesterday they should now be regulated by the FCA.

    I suspect that won’t stop them wasting everyone’s time.

    So what is the verdict with these guys?

    I have been in contact with them and they have said they will work on a no win no fee basis so surely that would mean something has been mis-sold by the bank, no?

    If it is as easy as contacting the bank, what would I need to ask or say to them and what would I be asking to claim back from them.

    Thanks

    Have you been mis sold? Just because PPI claim companies exist for example, doesn't mean you particularly have been mis sold

    You're correct. The answer is indeed 'no'.

    It just means they're building the suckers list.

    The fees - such as insurance- are likely to come in later.

    Sounds plausible, but you know when you start getting irate at those cold calls begging them to stop and to take you off their phone lists, I would hazard a guess that this is the type of place it comes from.

    Does it not concern you that an untrained monkey in a call centre is telling you (and anyone else who will listen) they can get you thousands of pounds on a no win no fee basis and they will be palming you off on to someone else once you agree? At the same time, you have absolutely no idea why or even if you were miss sold other than this call centre rep asking you questions where the only answer is yes.
