Do they really want to help?

The initial phone conversation was straightforward and pleasant, however, once you get the link to start the process it's a different matter. I understand that some paperwork will be required but you are required to supply all different types of paperwork, some that I don't have and some that it will be difficult to obtain before they even look at assistance.
Makes you feel that they are making the process that difficult that you will give up your attempt to claim even though you are paying through your insurance premium.
Unfortunately this is what I have done, gave up, as the process is too convoluted.

I was not given full and proper advice, the agent seemed more interested in trying to put me off using their legal services. I question her motives.

I feel having a legal help policy is a waste of money. Nothing was done for me. The help I expected I would get did not happened. I am so disappointed.

First Time Experience with claim process

Assumption made that I was familia with the legal process. Did not identify early that I was not speaking to CIA but to Ark Legal Group.
Confusing on the paperwork required and what would be the situation on use of CIA legal panel. Could not answer the question on likely cost of legal fees also whether my claim would dealt with by a solicitor or a para legal !!

Dear Mr Beniston,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding our legal processes and the clarity of information provided.

Our Legal Helpline is able to provide general legal guidance only. From your enquiry, it appears you were seeking more specific advice. In circumstances such as this, they would usually recommend that you submit a claim for our Claims team to review in detail.

No legal advice helpline.

You rang back very promptly. Unfortunately you misunderstood what I was seeking. I was hoping that a solicitor would explain to me what the judge meant by writing that I did "not disclose a cause of action". Instead of legal advice you told me to submit a claim form. Then I got two pages telling me the case wasn't covered by my policy, which I knew. There is supposed to be a free legal advice helpline as part of the policy. I didn't get that.
