Are Gladstone Brookes Gladstones?

Can anybody tell me if the Gladstones which feature here are associated with Gladstone Brookes who do PPI checks?


It may appear to be a strange one, but I'm thinking of getting in a PPI check and I wouldn't want to give them my business if they are...

    As far as we know ...... NO.

    But, why are you thinking of a PPI claim via a claims company who take a big commission when you can do it yourself for free ???

    Search MSE for claiming PPI, this forum is only about private parking companies . NOT THIS FORUM ..... THANK YOU

    These PPI claims firms charge around 20% of the refund due why on earth would you give that amount for something you can easily do yourself?

    Thanks very much folks - I wasn't after advice on PPI, just whether that company with a similar name was related to PPCs. :-)

    Sorry but we must! We need to save you money.

    You are a very regular poster on MSE, where under the PPI articles, there is a template letter to send to ANY previous finance firms banks, insurers and mortgage firms you've used, which needs no thought or editing except for your name & address.

    You don't even need an account number or paperwork.

    For Gawd's sake DO NOT think about using poxy Gladstone Brooks!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I think you know this, but I was asking whether they are the same company who handle PPC persecutions, which is why I posted here. ;)
