Rights to ppa reclaim company
Earlier in the year, for ease I contacted a PPA reclaim service to look at the very unlikely possibility that I had paid PPI. They made initial contact with the companies I had given them, but then Lloyd’s Contacted me directly with a questionnaire to fill in and send back to them. They have today sent me a cheque directly for the PPA I paid to them, and Im wondering if o still need to pay the initial reclaim s revive who made first contact. Please don’t think I’m trying to get away with not paying their percentage- I just want to know if legally, I have to.
Thanks in advance

if you entered into contract with the CMC then you are likely to find them calling in due course for you to pay them.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

No.
You don't have to pay them
You have entered into NO contract. (I assume) What you would have signed would be an LOA for them to find out whether you had PPI.
Fill in the questionnaire and get your money back. Make sure you have a good argument as to how PPI was mis-sold though.0 -

Completely false, the LOA that allows them to actually approach and deal with the banks is sufficient for them to raise the complaint and be entitled to the cut. That is why Lloyds, for example, have already started the complaint process
The only time this isn't applicable is these free PPI checks whereby they just pretend to check and conveniently "find" you had PPI and would you mind signing this letter and we'll do the rest but without a signed LOA they cannot actually ask the banks for any information due to DPA rulesSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
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.

That is complete !!!!!!!!, I work in PPI, the LOA allows us to do a search on the client to see if they had a claim. After that we put an argument together with a contract in place.0 -

As I suspected you work in a PPI claims firm, call centre or similar level which is why you are posting incorrect information (such as calling a complaint a "claim").
If you read the original post the claims firm have clearly started a complaint as Lloyds have sent the OP a complaint form therefore have got a signed LOA giving them the right to make a complaint on behalf of the customer. Without a signed LOA you cannot ring up a bank and ask about a customer's account as they'd just tell you where to go. Perhaps in your CMC you work differently and don't start claims but an LOA that gives the firm authority to make a claim is a contractSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
