Ppi charges increase

Hi.

I used a company and their charges clearly state 20% plus vat on the website.

I recieved their invoice and the bill is 30% plus vat.

Surely this is not right.

Regards.

    Check what you signed. That's what you'll owe.
  • I didn't sign anything. The only forms I signed were the ones that were sent to the banks etc.

    It was a telephone call when he said there was a successful claim and did I want the to proceed. He then explained the charges again and I'm 90% sure he said 20% plus vat.

    You would have signed a contract. Most likely built into the letter of authority.

    They may have lowered their charge. They may be trying it on. You pay what your contract says. So, what does your contract say? if you didnt keep a copy, then ask them for a copy of what you signed.

    You'll need to be 100% certain.

    You contradict yourself here.

    Get them to send you a copy of the contract you signed. The firm could not have proceeded without one.
