Rates recovery and re-set. Sounds too good to be true, but also sounds plausible.

I got a call out of the blue yesterday from someone who told me I'd been overpaying on my rates for two years and offering to get me a refund in return for a percentage. He describes it as a Rates recovery and re-set and that his company specialises in it. He'd got hold of my rate payments somehow.

Is this a thing? He isn't asking for any money up front so on the face of it I've nothing to lose. Or is this a scam of some kind?

Often it's a scam.

Be very careful what yo sign.

Very often, all they will do is apply for small business rate relief on your behalf 9somehting you can do ) and ask for 50% of the savings (often up front).
