Ppi

[vernonk]

Can anyone actually recommend a PPI claim company that don't take too big a fee and are honest to deal with? Not got time or inclination to do it ourselves

If you care about honesty, maybe you should care about looking into it? You get what you put in.

You still have to dig out info for the PPI claim companies- they will just write the letters for you. You can get standard letters from the Martin Lewis/Money Savings Expert. I would consider doing it yourself- just list the companies (you can find them by doing a one off credit file check) then send the standard letters and wait for the cheques. For the difference in workload/hassle maybe you'll decide it's not worth giving a third of your money away to a company that sees it as easy money.
But I know some on here have used them and someone may recommend a company. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole though

They all take 30% it is a standard fee. It is VERY easy to do it yourself. If you know the name of the company that charged you the PPI you just have to ask them for a claim form and fill it in,the company have to do all the checking for you and just send you the cash.

Done it myself 3 times Vern, providing you have eveidence, Agreement Numbers, you can not go wrong, I would not employ these PPI Companys If I was not capable of doing the job myself, If you have "Past" Bank Statements that's a start. I'm on with one at this Time, Peugeot Finance for a car my wife had in 2005.

Just a warning- although they say they take 30% they can actually take much more than you get
For example http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/experts/article-3467092/TONY-HETHERINGTON-PPI-claims-firm-billed-1-200-34-refund.html
This is because they also take 30% of all future payments you could have made even.
This customer was billed £1200 from a £34 refund

That ought not be legal.

Ah I see it is being investigated as a scam.

There is a company that charges 10% which is about as fair as you're going to get with a company doing the 'work' for you.
First off call the bank/lender, they may do the PPI claim over the 'phone.
