Bowell, we only partner those companies that have the interests of the community/consumer at heart. We certainly would never 'feed people to the sharks'. Our ethos more than explains why. Several of us here have had successful claims with the company we partner for PPI claims. You can indeed do it yourself - however, some people don't even know about it - or know how to do it. Also, don't forget we're not a publicly funded organisation - so for that reason, we too need to make a living.
