Just received a text message on my mobile and don't know who sent it. it says quote

We have been trying to contact you about your PPI claim. We still have £2308.34 in your name waiting to be sent to you. To get it reply PPI.

Do you think I should reply ? I have never taken out personal protection insurance.

Ignore it.

Do NOT reply and, if you can be bothered, report the number to OfCom and/or the Information Commissioner's Office

If you reply you will be agreeing to a very expensive service that you will have great dificulty cancelling.

If you have had loan with a bank they have get intouch with you by letter

PPI texts arn't specifically for you, if you respond your phone number is 'sold' to other companies so they know it's an active number. Then you will be bombarded with all sorts forever.

Ignore it, if you want to pursue PPI, do it through a proper company.

I had the same text but mine says Frank owes £2308.34 in unpaid bar bills, text this number to claim your share.

Apparently we have been in the wrong Council Tax band since 1993, can’t remember all the details but bands were allocated based on house prices around 1991 and we’ve been in the wrong one since we moved in 1993, the company who’s picked up on this, wants no up front fee but 50% of any ‘winnings’ plus tax.

Anyone else had experience of this?
Is this the ‘normal’ rate for these kinds of things?
What will they do for their share? Write a couple of letters, I can do that.

I guess 50% (less tax) is better that nowt.

My Mum and Dad got fed up of all the telephone calls and texts re PPI so they went to their bank and asked, they got back a decent amount and now they can just say to the mithering pests, no thanks Ive already claimed mine back.
Worth trying with our own bank/building society.

Talk to the council first glow

We pursued our own with Lloyd's TSB and had no trouble at all getting it back.
