    Surely the opinion is general.

    How can you tell specifically that there is a case?

    Hi, We sought an opinion on specific issues.

    Interestingly we recently had a meeting with a major consumer group who also did not believe our findings initially. They decided to get their own QC's opinion. Surprise, Surprise their QC agreed with ours.

    Part of my job is to identify the issues present on cases. Having been involved in this area for some 6 years I would hope by now I have learned enough to be able to say with some certainty where challenges to loans are likely to be successful and where they will not.
    I am a former Broker, former IFA and former compliance officer, for my sins.

    However, I have since seen the light.

    Looking back at Peters posts i think he does this for a living. Helps people get money back. I have pm'd him for more info but i think its a company by looking back on his previous.

    I don't want to involve a company if this is something i can do myself. I am googling all the time for anything relating to this about agreements over a certain number of years old. Nothing as yet but i will carry on trying. I have now drafted my SAR letter for Firstplus.

    SARN is always the first form of action, even for us pros.
    You cant beat having all the information at hand.

    I think you'll find that you will get a faster result by using professional assistance.

    I am using a service that to date has cost me nothing - though a previous firm charged me £495 for doing nothing.

    I am however intrigued by Petermb's assertions.

    If he works for/knows a company can we please be told who it is?

    As there is only one company in the financial claims market place that does not charge any fees, as far as I know, I think you might have an idea of the company I am involved with, you are probably already using that very service by the sound of it.
