Everybody BEWARE of Forbes Douglas.

My brother was approached by Forbes Douglas who informed him that he was owed nearly £3000 from a PPI

that they acted as brokers for the policy when a mortgage was set up .

After receiving a letter, confirmation was made by telephone by Forbes Douglas which confirmed a 'no win no fee' approach.

My brother sanctioned a further "in depth" investigation into what amount was due.

The figure came back as nearly £7000.

My brother completed their authorisation form to persue the claim and within a very short period my brother was informed that the PPI policy had in fact been repaid

(some in-depth investigation) and a bill was attached for nearly £700.00!.

Needless to say my brother could get no further contact from Forbes Douglas and a summons soon followed which has been defended.

In summary it appears that this Company contacts potential clients (victims)

and claims charges irrespective of any actual work carried out .

It then acts aggressively to obtain payments that are probably not due to it.

My advice is to defend any claim made against you via written communication

(you will have a written record) and then the Courts Service if it goes that far.
