Shopping around for best deal

Ok so a PPI claims company tells me I may have a claim on 6 accounts. I have the forms in front of me pre-filled out etc ready to send back. 36% commission. Fair enough they have said all along I can use them, carry out the claim myself or find another company.

What would people suggest I do?

    Best deal is for you to pop them in the envelope yourself and pay your own postage. It seems daft to pay 36% of a potential payout just for a CMC to pay for postage to send it to the complaints dept of the bank.

    Not pay 36% for a 56pence stamp.
