PPI Payments priorities

Hello.  I am wondering if any one has had business/interaction with The Claims Network?
They are promising to pay me my PPI claim, but want their bills up front.BEFORE they pay me!
I am loathed to proceed as they are not FCA registered nor do I know of them

    I’m not sure what it is, but somethings just making me think that they may possibly, just slightly be telling you porkies about your PPI ‘claim’.

    Never ever fall for that type of scam.   If they have your money then they can deduct the fee from the money and pay you the net amount. 

     It is a very common scam to ask for payment up front to get money.  It is called advance fee fraud.

    From the FCA link, it looks like a genuine company has been cloned by a scammer.  I feel very sorry for the genuine company when this happens and we need to be clear that the scam references are against the cloner and not the genuine company.
