I e-signed an email from Hidenda, as they asked for it before they could go further in relation to a refund of Marriage Allowance (£1,200 they said). I've checked back and it doesn't say that I was signing a Contract, but they're now alleging that I have. They are now demanding that I go ahead with the claim online, otherwise they will charge mee a fee. Their texts messages don't give a number, so I can't reply. I have replied to two of their emails so far, with queries of my own, but they don't respond to them either. I'm not sure what to do. If I ignore them, will I get a demand for a fee? They are listed on the Govt Action Fraud list, so I think they may be dodgy or unsafe.

Reads the terms of the contract to see what cancellation fees you would face and see if it's worth paying it and processing the refund yourself.
If there is a fee payable, they will certainly pursue it.0 -
Thanks. However, I don't believe that I am entitled to a refuind of Marriage Allowance anyway. I can't see why. Of course, it's my fault for answering their advert/email in the first place!0

It is an agreement to do something and your commitment.They are now demanding that I go ahead with the claim online, otherwise they will charge mee a fee.A number of these have a timewaster clause in them.If I ignore them, will I get a demand for a fee?Typically, these sorts of companies do go for debt collection agencies.
Read your contract terms and see what it says about charges.
