Solicitors fees claim
Hi All
hoping someone can help! I was in a car accident a couple of years ago, all settled and sorted. Yesterday I had a call from a company claiming they could get the 25% solicitor fee back for me? Has anyone heard of this before? Not sure if it is legitimate or not?

Why do you want the solicitor's fee back? Aren't they supposed to be paid for their service?
It is generally better to ignore cold callers or you will be the one paying them for their "soliciting" work.0 -
That’s what I thought?! I was just interested to hear if anyone else has come across this? It did seem odd!0

Thats because the scammers cant reclaim PPI anymore, or mis sold mortgages and seeing as you have already had an accident and settled they need to scam you for something.0

Judging by the adverts, they have moved on to claiming "compensation" if you have ever invested in anything that hasn't made a fortune. Most of the 'phone calls I get now are to tell me that my interweb is being cut off, or that my Amazon Prime account is renewing.foxy-stoat said:Thats because the scammers cant reclaim PPI anymore, or mis sold mortgages and seeing as you have already had an accident and settled they need to scam you for something.
I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

Thanks all, I was wondering the logic behind it and now realise my first instinct that there isn’t any is correct!0
