Re: the claims guys charges

I have had nothing from them in writing, lots of threatening phone calls but thats all.
Theyve told me they will get their legal team involved and ive welcomed them to do that, last time they phoned they said " so whats the next step" and I said i was waiting for a written reply to the email posted above, that was about two weeks ago and i still havent had one!

Re: the claims guys charges

In that case I would NOT talk to them again on the phone

If they phone you just tell them

"Put everything in writing please as I will NOT talk about this matter on the phone, I will only communicate in WRITING"

Then just drop the phone

If they keep phoning then we can deal with that in a harrassment letter

Like most other chavs, they're all mouth and shiny track-suit bottoms.

Theyve told me they will get their legal team involved and ive welcomed them to do that,

Is that because such a 'threat' implies that, so far, only their illegal team has been involved?

last time they phoned they said " so whats the next step" and I said i was waiting for a written reply to the email posted above, that was about two weeks ago and i still havent had one!

I doubt you ever will; they may huff and puff for a bit longer, before either giving up completely or selling the alleged "debt" to a shonky firm of debt collectors.

Under rules from the claims management regulator, the Ministry of Justice, firms must:

NOT use high pressure sales tactics;

GIVE you written information on the costs involved before a contract is agreed;

ALLOW a 'cooling off' period of at least 14 days for customers to back out of a contract;

MAKE it clear you can reclaim PPI yourself, for free.

Have those plonkers complied with those requirements?

The Ministry of Justice would like to hear of any CMC breaking the rules?

Has this particular CMC been authorised and have a licence number?

Re: the claims guys charges

If i was aware at the time that I could have done this in the same time as they did i would not have asked them to do it for me.

The only reason i agreed to them acting on my behalf was that they said they could get the claim sorted in six weeks!

I think its bad that these companies are reclaiming money from companies based on them miss selling their products and they are using similar practices.

Re: the claims guys charges

This is from their web site - it says they act as intermediary service for the general public and law firms that have authorised 'The Claims Guys' as introducer.

So how did the original poster get into contact with them - did he fill out the online form, was he introduced or did they cold call?

The Claims Guys is a claims management business, with a focus on ... mis-selling

Whilst the above - slightly edited - seems to be remarkably candid, the same cannot be said of their other puffery:

The Claims Guys, a company you can trust and depend on, with a rich heritage in financial services.

Doesn't their use of the word "heritage" rather suggest the company has existed for a decade or two - or more?

The Claims Guys Limited, Lynnfield House, Church Street, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 4DZ is registered in England (Company No 06821134)

A quick check at Companies' House shews that the company was formed on 17/02/2009.

Some "heritage"! :tinysmile_hmm_t2:
