Is this the next PPI?

Hi there,
I noticed there’d been a few articles recently about millions of people injured in car crashes having a claim against the law firms for overcharging.
Has anyone done this? Is it the same as making a PPI claim?
Any thoughts or advice on this welcome?

    No  It's nothing to do with PPI.

    If you have a complaint against a company, you need to send your complaint to that company.

    Thanks. I really meant whether it's going to turn into the next PPI ie. millions of claims.
    Anyway, time will tell.
    I've made a claim with a no-win no-fee firm after a car accident and was wondering if anyone else here has.

    I'm sure all the chancers companies who made money by offering to sort out peoples PPI claims for them in return for an extortionate fee will be looking for some other opportunity to lure in the next set of mugs customers now that the PPI cash cow has died, but that doesn't mean there will be any mass mis-selling involved.

    So you're basically asking about complaining about that yourself? Have at it, let us know how you get on complaining to a law firm....

    It won’t be long before the PPI CMC’s turn on each other and start offering to ‘manage’ complaints about mis-sold PPI complaint handling from other CMCs
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    It really won't. 

    Expect nothing with regard your "claim" and you won't be disappointed.
