Society formally urges Clarke to ban referral fees

There is already a credible and ethical alternative to referral fees, a model created by gocompensate.com

Simon Oates of gocompensate.com said “We could see that referral fees were outdated, created stigma on what should be considered as a positive service and were no longer a viable option to maintain trust and credibility with the consumer.”

The gocompensate.com model was launched in January 2011 promoting specialist solicitors on a local basis thereby enabling potential claimants access to the very best solicitor in their region. The service campaigns to ‘keep claims local’.

The removal of referral fees will not reduce the number of accident victims, it may not even reduce the amount of claims but it will introduce trust, honesty and integrity to the services offered by genuine compensation service providers.

gocompensate.com has written to the government and to Jack Straw making them aware of the credible alternative to referral fees and supports the Society in its campaign to ban referral fees.
