Re: DCM Money Solutions - In administration
That would be interesting PF indeed.
I am horrified at the reports of the levels of the costs some folks have had to pay out to these companies. In our own history in this we were having a lot of cold calling and I aplied the old adage that what seems too good to be tue, usually is or words to that effect. However when I was told to get help by the doc I sought proper legal represenation via a specialist solicitor and searched until i found one. I can give you the techniques I used but won't bore you until asked.
However, we did find a specialist litigation solicitor who took our four cases and let me tell you that the costs have been no where near some of the figures reported here. In fact the fees were less than one months payments on the cards in question and we have paid nothing since. There were disbursements of under £80 for each account but we would have paid that anyway in the statutory outlays.
It was interesting that during the very first discussions we had about our cases, they were adamant that we had nothing to do with claims management companies, IVAs, DROs Tomlin orders and the like. They started work straight away and gave us time to get their fees together. Now we a statement in writing from the managing partner of the large practice that we will now be defended on a whatever it takes basis at no further cost to ourselves.
Let me assure you that is a very comforting position to be in and has not cost the earth and certainly nowhere near the fees quoted by many on here.
