lifestyle claims ppi scam
I to was duped by this company. they rang me up on 14th December 2011 and were very convincing they even took me through the web site (ministry of justice) to show they were legal.There salesman (Claudio Peregreno)asked how much was on the card and for how long roughly it had been like it then said i would be entitled to at least £2400
They took £295.00 from my credit card. I thought about this during the day and decided to cancel it. After 3 phone calls they would not let me cancel and said wait till I get the pack then make up my mind.
I did not receive the pack till 2weeks later. when I remembered to call them back before the 14day cooling of period there office was not open ( 28 dec).
When the office was open the cooling off period had ended and they would not let me cancel. I had no choice but to join.
What they also neglected to tell me was that the 30% they charged for a successful claim did not include the £295 they had already taken.
4 months passed but no results. I rang them regularly every month. After a while they managed to claim back £150 in un fare bank charges. The next thing I new was they had passed
it to a company called Ultimate law.
They were actually very professional and honest and managed and tild me that the claim was no where near what Lifestyle had quoted . I received £325 from Ultimate Law.
They also told me that lifestyle had gone into administration.
I thought that was the end but the day I received the cheque I had a call from a company called Red Hawk Claims (Swansea).
They are trying to claim 30% of the £325 . I found out that this company has been employed by the Administrators (sharma & co).
Could some one please tell me do they have any legal right to do this as what lifestyle did in the first instance was incorrect ( asking for money up front).
By the way during this period I rang the Ministry of Justice and I would say that they were not very helpful.
