Mis-sold PPI callers

The 'Ministry of Justice' scam seems to be around again where the consumer is offered a refund from the government for mis-sold PPI. The caller usually claims the householder is entitled to £1000's but asks for administration fee to be paid upfront. If you believe you have mis-sold PPI please contact the Financial Ombudsmen Service on 0300 123 9 123 or 0800 023 4567 or visit www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk . They can advise on how to make a claim free of charge. If you do decide to use a claim handler, carefully consider whether to pay an upfront fee before your claim is submitted - there is no guarantee it will be successful and you could be left out of pocket.
