The reason I believe co.2.was successful because only after I contacted them did I get contact from the bank to state they are willing to give me compensation/my money back. Thanks for the Idea. I will try and play them off each other and see what happens.

I wasn't aware that I could have done it for free. Im sorry I didn't quite understand. By correct do you mean I have to pay both companies?

Hi I am a new user to this forum and this is the first time I am posting in a forum. I need some help with a PPI claim that I made recently. I will start from the begging. Around 9 months ago I was contacted by a reclaims co. about PPI claim back. After a conversation on the phone with them, I received a few forms which I filled out and sent off about my mortgage and claim. After a hellish 4 months with these people, I finally asked them that I no longer wanted to use them to claim back PPI as they were lying to me and not helping me enough. One of there employees understood this and said he would call me back in 5 minutes. A further 4 months later I had received no reply from them. I thus decided to use a different company, . I explained to them that I had already filled out a few forms with a different company but they had not contacted me in 8 months. They told me I do not need to worry and that they would handle my claim from now on. A week ago I received a letter from my bank telling me they had agreed to give me back my money after my complaint. I told .... about this and after verifying I was receiving the correct amount, they told me to accept the offer. They sent me an invoice for thire fees and told me I would not have to pay the invoice until I received my cheque from the bank. Then out of the blue I received a letter from the first co telling me they had been successful in claiming back my PPI. I received this letter today. They also stated they would send me an invoice for there fees. This totally caught me off guard and I am very upset and confused. Since it is Saturday today, I cannot get a hold of any of the two companies and I am worried that I will have to pay two companies. This will leaved me pretty much nothing from the claim. So I need your help. Do I have to pay both companies. I only received my claim after I started using the 2nd co. so I am happy paying them for their services. I do not want to pay th 1st co as they have done nothing to help me and I believe they are trying to screw me over. Looking forward to your help and thanks for taking the time for reading this post.
