1 star too many
Somehow found myself allegedly signed up for car finance claims with this company. Kept getting emails and ignored them as thought they were spam. Was given a deadline to respond with further personal information so the claim could continue, such as my maiden name I had the car finance under, address and dates (if I had signed myself up I would have supplied this information at the initial consultation!) I didn’t respond, hoping it would stop when the time lapsed, but then i got emails saying I would be liable to pay for work done on my behalf! I emailed back and said stop, I don’t wish to proceed with any of this and was told I had signed an agreement and the cooling off period had elapsed! If I wish to cancel now I’ll be charged for work carried out on my behalf up until this point! I explained I didn’t authorise any work and they sent me an agreement with a squiggle that doesn’t resemble my signature at all, copy and pasted into multiple areas of a contract. I complained and they said they would put my file on hold whilst they investigate. 4 weeks of stress and anxiety waiting for a resolution only to be told that the IP address matches my home address. They believe this is proof that I’ve signed an agreement! It is absolutely insane how I’ve someone been signed up to something I don’t want, and now my only way out is to pay this company money! I refuse to pay anything and completely dispute signing up. I Have now reported to Action Fraud, the SRA, the legal ombudsman and BBC watchdog. Reading this company’s 1 star reviews on trust pilot demonstrates multiple situations identical to mine. The times have also documented an article about this. Avoid this company at all costs.
