What services do we provide you?
We provide a claims management service to help clients recover monies they may be owed due to financial mis-selling, maladministration, undisclosed commissions, unauthorised transactions and/or a breach of legislation (e.g. Consumer Credit Act 1974). This includes, but is not limited to, cases involving misrepresentation by banks or other financial institutions, as well as instances where clients have been victims of financial scams and/or fraud with the provider/lender, potentially entitling them to compensation. We will assist you in identification of claims, preparation of required paperwork and representation in making a claim. We will work on your behalf to present a strong and detailed claim to the bank/finance provider/financial advisor. We will provide you with advice in regard to making the claim, any offer of compensation you receive and if your claim is rejected, advice on the next steps and whether your claim can be escalated. If necessary, we will escalate your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

What might you need to do?

You will need to sign paperwork which is required for your claim in a timely manner.

You have the right to cancel the Terms and Conditions within 14 calendar days. This cooling off period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day you sign our Terms and Conditions. You can cancel after this14 day cooling off period and before an offer of compensation is made however, we reserve the right to apply a fee to cover our reasonable costs for the work undertaken in processing your claim up to the date of cancellation. Such charges will be calculated at £50+VAT per hour up to a maximum of 10 hours and a minimum of 1 hour. If your case is closed after a submission to Financial Ombudsman Service, there will be an additional £250 charge.

Your rights and options
You can pursue the claim yourself without using a CMC and without cost. You will first need to complain directly to the provider and if this is unsuccessful, you can complain through the Financial Ombudsman Service. Certain claims may fall under the scope of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which you can access directly. You may be entitled to legal advice, assistance and representation through your membership of a trade union or under a contract of insurance, therefore you may wish to investigate whether you are able to pursue this claim through these methods.
