Before using a claims firm

A five-minute contract check

  1. Check the firm on the FCA Register if it provides regulated claims management.
  2. Ask for the total fee, including VAT and any exit charge.
  3. Confirm exactly which agreements the authority covers.
  4. Keep the contract and every message.
  5. Ask how to cancel and whether duplicate representatives are involved.
The FCA has acted against adverts that failed to explain fees or that implied consumers could not complain for free.
