reclaimGuys want fees - i went to the FOS and won when they failed with lloyds directly

[ChrisS1968]

Hi folks,

 

After a couple of successful claims against Lloys/TSB for PPI we had one more for a card with Lloyds.

 

Lloyds refused to pay up claiming in their eyes we were not missold.

 

We were using Claims Guys to act on our behalf (I know, lazy & costly) and they wrote to us stating that Lloyds had written to them advising them of their decision.

 

we went direct to the FOS to appeal and the FOS decided in our favour.

Four weeks later and we have had a letter from the Claims Guys asking for their share even though they were unsuccessful in their attempt.

 

Any ideas if they can do this as with a no win no fee arrangement then I would say not.

I appreciate that they did a fair bit of leg work so am happy to pay them but the full amount?

 

I was wondering what others thoughts on this might be?

 

Cheers, Chris

Please will you post up the E which you received from The Claims Guys. As the FOS have be the people who have done the work for you then I would say that the Claims Guy's have got no basis for asking for any money from you at all.

Can you tell us a bit more about when you ask them to get involved and also what they are they apparently trying to levy?

What a shame you went to them anyway. You've been here since 2015.

cant see you being able to get out of this one sadly

as much as i'd like to see it.

 

you contracted them to get the PPI back, you signed the authorisation & consent forms?

their T&C's clearly state or don't ..that it doesn't matter who eventually  succeeds..the very fact they were involved..entitles them to their share.
