PCP claims

I filled in the claim form provided by the MSE website thinking it was being sent to the FSA. Then received a call from a claims company who charge nearly 50% if my claim is successful. This is not what I expected so told them forcefully to go away. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you 100% sure it was MSE? Did the claims company have your exact details or was it just a generic spam email?

The Food Standards agency isn't involved in this.   If you meant Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), then they don't handle consumer complaints either

Sounds like you didn't use MSE but a spoof/scam site.   If you can find the site you used, you should report them to MSE as pretending to be someone you are not would be unlawful.  It happens a lot with claims companies (not just against MSE but banks and others).

MSE does not pass your details explicitly to any third party and does not engage ambulance chasers.

It could just be a coincidence with the claims company cold calling/approaching you.
