Rip off Merchants charging to do your claims

[redsonja]

I have just received a junk email and it the header was about reclaiming bank charges so opened it to see what it was and there is a website set up where they offer to do the process for you.

 

They take a whopping 25% for doing this for you and are obviously targeting the people who dont think they could do it themselves. I knew it was inevitable that people would cash in on this but its so frustrating.

 

I only heard of this site through a friend and if I hadn't of I would have probably been too frightened to ever dream of taking on banks etc so people who may not have heard of this site will end up agreeing for these robbers to do it!

 

They also use the insulting line.....NO WIN, NO FEE!!!!! They blo*dy know full well there will always be a win which means they will always get a fee!!!

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....rant over! :mad:

Unfortunately there will always be leeches popping up to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge in a particular area.

it could also be that some people feel intimidated by the whole process or may not have the time, and would rather pay someone than do it themselves.

 

after all, its money they'd thought had gone for good!

 

i've started my claims and to tell the truth it takes a lot of time understanding everything and my work has suffered dramatically. I've actually lost income because i've spent the time on this site (i am S/E so no work=no income).

 

i've actually refused to do it for friends and family as i just don't have the time to do it!
