Ingenious legal ppi claim on my behalf

need help please with ppi claim done apparently on my behalf by Ingenious Legal


Hi ,I had an invoice email (out of the blue )from Ingenious Legal demanding payment in 7 xays .The company has done ppi claim last year 2020, apparently on my behalf. However I do not have any recollection of instructing them to do so. I have not have any correspondence with this company until this email with the invoice.The day before the email with the invoice I have noticed they have sent a news letter- very wierd .I have seen many complaints of people clcking on Ingenious Legal page via Facebook and getting into a contract without clients clear knowledge. I fear this might have happend to me as I was exploring my options for ppi claim at the time.However I do not recall to have signed any agreement . I have not had any letters or emails from this company explaining terms or conditions or giving me cooling period of 14 days.I have not signed any forms. No correspondence at all. I wonder how this solisitors company is allowed to do this legally in UK and get away with it.
I have emailed Ingenious Legal to provide  prouf of my signature and my agreement.
My PPI claim was received in June / 2020 nearly a year ago.So I wonder why suddenly now I receive an invoice from tIngenious Legal company...Surely if they have acted on my behalf they would have had that infirmation then and inform me accordingly. What kind of modern scam is this?
I have  not had a single email or letter informing me that I am in contract with this company to process  ppi claim.
Please advise me what should I do?
It bothers me this 7 day period ,they seem to demand payment..
I am planning to speak to my bank to check who has instructed them about the PPI claim. As far as I know when the bank payed the money into my account I had a letter only from my bank.
Please let me know if anyone is in similar situation and what could be done?
Many thanks in advance

    Hi , thank you for your reply, Ingenious legal ltd have sent now evidence of contract , but after I have reviewed it the signature does not look anything like mine. I feel in 2019  have explored the options of PPI on social media by completing detals online ,but I do not recall to have instructed this company to act on my behalf. Certainly I have not had any correspondence (letters or emails) from them to notify me of this process.
    I am not sure what the next step will be...
