A firm that pressured holidaymakers into making false sickness claims has had its licence taken away.
An investigation by officers at the Claims Management Regulator (CMR) found Lancashire-based Allsure had encouraged people to fabricate or embellish symptoms of gastric illness to get compensation.
Further evidence showed the firm had tried to entice customers by using 'deceptive sales scripts' which exaggerated expected pay-outs.
Allsure, based in Preston, had been operating in the personal injury claims sector since April 2014.CMR head Kevin Rousell said: "We will take firm action against claims businesses which engage in serious misconduct. Seeking to encourage false claims will not be tolerated."

The sickness claim business is getting worse -actually saw an advert on the TV yesterday!!
Dave- I heard about 3 ads in a row on the radio yesterday. How do you deal with them? There must be some genuine cases out there?
All the while there are people willing to put in a false claim there will unfortunately be a need for these, sad but true I think
