Car finance claim - PROBLEM SOLICITORS???

I made a claim for mis-sold finance from the same company that was later investigated by the FCA who stopped them being able to take on new clients. Now it is at the point where I am being contacted by their in-house solicitors to start the claim.
The FCA mentioned that the claims company had been guilty of 'misleading advertising, aggressive marketing, and hiding fees. '
I am reading the small print of the solicitors. it says they implement a 'conditional fee agreement' wherever possible. The agreement had always been that they would take their 30% share of any payments made to me and I was and am happy with that.
My worry is that they may actually charge me, for making this claim and that it may not be a strictly no win no fee situation.
The small print talks of 'certain disbursements' and scenarios based on if I lost the case. (i.e. if they lost the case!) ..they mention 'specialized legal protection insurance' would cover this and I would provide this via my home insurance policy and none of this was mentioned before.
Has anyone experience of these issues in the process of their claim?
