Ppi claims

I received a ppi claim payout last year. I have now been contacted by solicitors saying they are going to bill for hours they spent sorting out my ppi claim, but I didn't use any solicitors. I have never heard of the solicitors company at all. I'm very worried

    Ask for a copy of the contract.

    Tell them that you have no recollection of employer a solicitor and ask for a copy of the contract.
    Do note that a number of CMCs have changed names or merged/taken over by others.  So, the company name may be different.
    You may also wish to ask your bank/provider if a CMC was involved.  They would have it on file (and would have notified the CMC - hence the bill now arriving)

    A guess that it’s a firm by the name ‘Ingenious Legal’?
    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)
  • I received a PPI payout from the bank.  Now I am being hounded by a firm called Wilson Tarquin to say that I now owe them commission.  I contacted the bank in question and although this firm had contacted the bank, the letter of authority was not signed by me.  Where the signature should be, there is a very wobbly NO and the date is definitely not my hand writing.

    Did you employ them to work on your behalf - that includes clicking on links in facebook or similar?
