It is often said that a fool and his money are soon parted, and there are few more effective at this art than the new breed of claims farmers.
Claims farmers are those folks who advertise themselves as “specialists” in accident compensation claims, but never use the word “Solicitors” – they call on your doorstep, clipboard in hand, at the most inconvenient times, or accost you when you are out shopping and with better things to do, trying to sign you up for overpriced insurance policies, high interest loan agreements, promising a referral to a solicitor to handle your case and offering a free loan car whilst yours is in for repair. But, you wouldn’t ask a child with a pencil, ruler and a rubber to design your new extension – so why trust an unregulated, untrained, uninsured novice with a claim which could be worth thousands of pounds, unless of course, you would be content to see it whittled down to hundreds of pounds at your expense. What you don’t know is that after you have signed up, your claim is then often sold to the highest bidder irrespective of the quality of service provided, and your solicitor may not be a true specialist and is unlikely to be local.
Claims farming isn’t fun – it can be a truly regrettable, frustrating and expensive experience.
