Scammers,liars and try to get your bank details,bully for information.

I was hit by another driver that admitted fault and everything was fine until Chris Swanson would keep calling and send me links and asking for all my bank details and when asked why,it was it’s all normal protocol incase it goes to court so I’m like it won’t go to court because she admitted liability then it got worse and wanted to see every account and know everything about me and this is just so they know how much they can take you for,I was then asked for my sort code and account number for my current account even though they have all my statements and now asked for my 3 years tax returns again y!!!! Just to see what they can take me for.so I said let me speak to your manager and I was told she was busy for 24-48 hours and now 30 hours later I have been threatened of having to pay 13 thousand pound if I don’t gove them all the info they ask for within 24 hours,the damage was maximum £1500 and oh and aparently a 28 day hire charge is 8000 pound,absolute bully’s!!!

D.I.Y Claim

What can I say. The first 2 weeks after my car accident (non-fault) Winns were amazing. Quickly sorting everything. Once that 2 weeks cooling off period passed WOW. My eyes were opened to the absolute shambles of Winns.
Since then, I have had to handle my own case, calling for updates, getting documents to send to medical experts, and more recently involving a legal ombudsman when a complaint was disregarded.
Winns sent me a timeline of work completed by them in response to my complaint. Imagine the shock that most of the timeline was what I HAD DONE. They had admitted neglecting the case for around 3 months and offered £100 compensation. I declined and took it to the legal ombudsman.
After over 2 years of waiting for progress, I was still waiting for a pain specialist appointment. I was advised they had no idea how long this would take.
I have grown so sick of Winns I have instructed them to settle asap, which means I will not receive the payout for the long term injuries I have. And to let the Legal Ombudsman deal with the rest.
However....
Despite them not having received compensation. They have marked my file as compensation received (I have proof of this) Which now stops me being supported from the ombudsman as it looks to them the case has closed, meaning I have nothing, with no legal support.
AVOID WINNS!!

I now expect Winns to call me frantically wanting this review removed.

They harass you daily for medical records and bank details then after a year or so ask you for more info then state they fight it in court but have to prove you could not afford the hire car. I could afford the hire but through my insurance it was free the accident wasn't my fault. The other driver addmitted fault, therefore I shouldnt be liable for costs. Avoid this company and go through your insurance company!

Avoid this company

Winns were appointed by our insurer and constantly failed to provide a service other than to benefit themselves. The communciation si woeful and the staff cannot answer simpel questions and usually avoid them. I ahve amde a complaint to the company and tehy eeven responded with a false statement to prove their incompetence.
only interested in profiteeringa dn not the customer. Abuse of a priviledged position to claim what tehy want.

Literally the worst solicitors in the UK

I was rear ended by a driver who accepted full liability for the accident immediately. I contacted my insurers who advised that I would be dealing with their solicitors - Winns. I was also contacted by the insurers for the person who drove in to me, offering to arrange the costs of disposal of my vehicle and a replacement vehicle for a month - we live on a remote farm and have no other cars or form of transport. After being categorically told by Winns not to deal with anyone but themselves, I have had a nightmare for over 18 months now with them hounding me for the costs of the replacement vehicle ( a sum of over £5000). They have prepared entirely inaccurate witness statements on my behalf which I refuse to sign at which point they disappear for months only for a brand new person from Winns to contact me, again asking for access to my bank accounts and with yet another witness statement full of blatant untruths. I have now complained to the ombudsman and can only hope that someone, somewhere does what is necessary to stop these people. No-one needs the huge stress and hassle they have caused which feels especially unfair given that the accident was not my fault, the other driver immediately accepted full liability and I had all the necessary insurance.

Awful company

Avoid at all costs unless you want to welcome an abundance of stress and bullying tactics!
My son who has special needs was a passenger in a non fault accident and suffered injuries. As the driver was using Winn to claim they got the details for my son also. Thinking they were a reputable company I agreed to make a claim on his behalf as he is a minor and it’s been nothing but stress ever since. As my son has special needs going to appointments and explaining things is difficult and the case handler has shown about as much empathy as .
The other side have made an offer which is totally acceptable to us however Winn are now forcing a court case saying we have no power to accept the offer made because they think it’s not enough (I can only assume so that they can make more profit) I have been told if I don’t make my son go to court they will charge me £2400 which is a bullying tactic that frankly disgusts me. So now I have the choice of traumatising my son or being liable for their costs. I would strongly warn against using this company.

Dire communication

Absolutely uselass communication is dire pressure to put a personal injury claim in 5k to fix a rear bumper and light tried to take the courtesy car off me 2 days before my car was ready and then expected me to make my own way 20+ miles to pick my car up! AVOID at all costs (make sure when you report your accident that you are speaking to your INSURANCE as these somehow are infiltrating the phone calls!!!!!!
