dear all, anyone else ever have a call from this lot http://myclaimshelp.com/

they just called me and swore blind they could get me a rebate on my council tax.

now according to the guy on the phone its not a scam, but i have to call back and that will cost me £1.50 a minute.

plus i end up with a property appraisal report.

seems like a big set-up to me, and i can't see why anyone would go for this, but has anyone else had them on the phone.

to be honest the biggest thing i have is that i am ex-dir and on the telephone preference service, so not happy they got my number

any info?

I'm harvesting phone numbers via the IP address of anyone posting on PH and selling these on to the most annoying companies I can find... Sorry about that.

MMm, 1 in 10 houses incorrectly banded for Council Tax - yep, probably correct. But equally, you might find that you are lower than the re-evaluated band. So you could even find that your council tax goes up....

Wanna risk it now?
