charged for unsuccessful PPI claim

27 Posts


Hi
I used a claims management company to check if I had any PPI. I'm pretty sure I didn't but thought I would check and see.
The claims handling company have said Sainsbury's have sent me a letter with the outcome of my claim and they want a copy so they can determine the fee.
Firstly, I have never received a letter from Sainsbury's as a result of a PPI claim (successful or unsuccessful)
Secondly, I have not received a penny compensation, so I assume it was unsuccessful.
My question is can the claims company charge me for this (no win, no fee?)? I have received and invoice for £500 and need to send a copy of the letter to them within 14 days.
I would like to contact Sainsbury's to see if they have a copy of the letter, does anyone have a number/email to contact them?
TIA

Check Sainsbury's website for their contact details.
I would start by asking them for details of what they sent to Sainsbury's and the outcome - did you get any request from Sainsbury's for data about your complaint and never replied? Ask Sainsbury's as well if they have any record of your complaint and what the result was. Sainsbury's will have alerted the CMC that they responded to you with something, so it would mean either you were rejected (so no fee), were successful (need to re-issue a cheque probably) or were successful but money was used against unpaid / written off debts hence you won't see any money but owe the CMC their cut.
Ring Sainsbury's asap
Well this is how they rope you in, click bait, charge you a 30% fee, even if no PPI is recovered, don`t answer complaints, make up scenarios, they lie to the courts, they are basically scammers, there are a multitude of such companies on social media platforms, complaints about them are rife, they operate on a numbers basis, as it can be very difficult to deny what a scammer is saying especially if they have forged evidence of your complicity.
Of course they may be genuine, but it can be very hard to tell, best advice is to avoid such companies altogether.
More than a third of IVA`s fail....fact.
Could A Debt Relief Order help you ?

The people who are after a quick buck, get cold feet after failing to read what they're agreeing to, are far bigger scammers than the ambulance chasers could ever be.
Its best just to swipe on by.

They've been sending out loads of these recently. Thing is if they were legitimately authorised by you to talk to Sainsbury's about claims they wouldn't be asking you to chase them up. If you didn't get a letter form Sainsbury's just tell them.
I have spoken to Sainsbury's this morning. They confirmed that no PPI was included on their product and no 'Final Decision' letter has been sent out to me or Fast Track Claims. Any letter/correspondence would have only confirmed no PPI was included.
Unfortunately Sainsbury's can't issue me with a letter to this affect, only provide a copy of the initial agreement.
Should I give permission to FTC so they can contact Sainsbury's and see for themselves? Could this lead to more charges/invoices issued to me?
Or do I just reply telling FTC I had no such letter or any compensation awarded?
Ask Sainsbury's for a copy of the closure letter, a PPI complaint still has to have a rejection letter, they cannot leave it open
I will send the letter of agreement to them, hopefully that will resolve the matter.
