Of course they are scams. There were a very small percentage of credit cards that had omitted certain terms and conditions that rendered the debt unenforceable.
As soon as somebody tried to claim for this reason the whole industry jumped and sent those who could have been entitled to claim a simple piece of paper with the terms and conditions on.
This made the credit card fall in to the law - and was perfectly legal for the credit card companies to rectify it in this way.
So now companies are enticing gullible people who hope to clear their debts without paying back what they owe into giving them money to investigate the case.
This money is non-refundable, of course.

I have written to a number of my creditors asking for copies of agreements taken prior to Dec 2004 when CCA changed. You would be surprised at the number that are wrong unenforcable and lost by the company
Write yourself request under the credit consumer act (plenty of info on line). Companies rely on the ignorance of their customer and solicitors charge too much. Have a go see what happens its worth it
