    Shieldpay is supposed to be legitimate, but we are warned to run a mile when escrow is mentioned, I wonder if this is being done to put people off claiming for a while, so that their money sits in a bank account earning interest?
    I'm pretty sure there are a whole army of scammers with production lines claiming they once owned every VW on Auto Trader, have a lifetime subscription to the Save the Polar Bears Society etc etc and therefore want their cut.

    Perhaps there needs to be some 'verification' process to rule out said scammers when it comes to handing over the readies...?
