There is virtually no public support for retaining referral fees, according to a survey seen by sure2Insure.<\/p>\n
In a blow to the access to justice lobby\u2019s campaign against the referral fee clampdown, a survey carried out by market research company Consumer Intelligence shows that just 1.1% of those polled disagreed with a ban on the controversial practice with 59.5% strongly agreeing that it should.<\/p>\n
Out of those individuals surveyed by the company, who had been previously contacted by a lawyer of claims management company , 84% disagreed that the firm in question had had their \u2018best interest at heart\u2019. Two thirds said were unhappy that they had been contacted by the firm in question.<\/p>\n
Of those contacted, 19% said they had subsequently lodged a claim with a third of those individuals admitting that they would not have done so otherwise.<\/p>\n
Further heartening news for the insurance industry was the survey\u2019s finding that just 13.1% of respondents said that the main reason for the recent large increase in motor premiums was insurers\u2019 desire for higher profits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
