Blue motor finance - contacted by a solicitor?

Hello all. 

I recently sent in an email to bluemotor using MSE’s car finance template and have had a reply acknowledging the DCA and they will be in touch. This was yesterday….
However today I have been contacted by Kingsnorth Solicitor's and sent documents from them to sign. However the documents seem to be for a no win no fee damage based arrangement, with fee’s of around 28% to be paid if claim successful. 

Surely this isn’t right? Has someone passed my info to these solicitors from bluemotor? 

Any info would be great. 

Thanks

    Either you have (perhaps an enquiry or spoof site or facebook post) or a bad member of staff has passed your details on.

    Do not act on it.  The process is free of charge to use and the FCA will issue their report on it and what needs to be done.  An ambulance chaser offers no added value in this case as its going to be clear cut and process documented once the FCA report comes out.

    I have also have kingsnorth solicitors contact me and try and got me to sign up. I contacted MSE and they have said that they do not give out our information and kingsnorth is not part of MSE

    I see periodic adverts on youtube from these type of ambulance chasers falsely claiming that you can enter your reg and they will find your finance details, even though this information isn't public - that or they hacked all the finance firms!

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
