Help Your Claim Limited [HYC] are instructed to act as my/our sole representative in the settlement of my PPI claim. I/we will provide HYC with any information requested to pursue the claim where requested. If the financial provider sends correspondence direct to myself, I/we will forward this to HYC at the earliest opportunity. The claim handling will be carried out by HYC, who have absolutely no affiliation with your financial provider. There is no requirement to use HYC to handle your claim. You have the right to seek further advice or to shop around. On success of your claim, HYC will charge a 30% fee + VAT on all amounts received. Our charges apply to the total value of the compensation received. For example, if you receive a settlement figure of £1000, you would be required to pay us £300 + VAT. At the current rate of 20% this would mean a total payment to HYC of £360, leaving you with £640. If your claim is unsuccessful there will be no fee. In particular there will be no fee within the 14 days cooling off period. However if there is a reasonable offer made and cancelation is attempted HYC will be entitled to charge their full fee.If cancelation is attempted prior to a reasonable offer and outside of the 14 days HYC will charge a reasonable charge for work carried out. On receipt of settlement by the financial provider, I/we agree that we will notify HYC within 3 working days, and understand HYC will then issue an invoice for their services, which must be paid within 3 days of receipt of any compensation from the financial provider. I/we understand that when a lenders decision is overturned through an appeal to the Financial Ombudsman Service and the customer receives a full refund, HYC's fee of 30% plus VAT will still apply. If the appeal is unsuccessful there will be no charge. I/we agree that HYC can deduct any fees for my claim from my credit/debit card upon completion of my case once the invoice becomes due. HYC may terminate this agreement should the amount recoverable be deemed to be commercially insufficient to progress. I/we may terminate this agreement within 14 days of the date of this agreement (It is recommended you send such a request by recorded delivery). However if there is a reasonable offer made and cancelation is attempted HYC will be entitled to charge their full fee.If cancelation is attempted prior to a reasonable offer and outside of the 14 days HYC will charge a reasonable charge for work carried out.
