My husband recently engaged The Claims Guys to do a free PPI check for him (much to my horror) and surprise, surprise, they are now demanding payment of over £2000 for the first compensation pay-out (30% plus VAT).
I object strongly to paying these jokers anything at all,
but despite interrogating my husband,
I can't seem to work out how they got from free check to binding contract.
I believe he only signed letters of authority for 2 companies (he can't remember which ones) but we have already been contacted by 3 companies so I really don't know what is going on.
Is there any way we can get the contract cancelled?
Is it worth me trying to fight it?
(On the grounds that they did not make it clear to my husband that he could do it himself or that he signed it under duress)
Is there anything at all I can do, or do we just have to pay up and find some way of keeping my husband away from all paperwork in future?
(For what it's worth, my husband is quite a successful professional - he is just hopeless at admin and anything financial...)
