The Claims Process
- Once we have received your claim pack, we will assess the viability of your claim. Following an assessment of your claim, we will raise a formal complaint against your bank for the settlement on your loan and or PPI. Simultaneously, we will request a full financial breakdown of all account charges and where applicable instruct a solicitor from their panel.
- In the event that your bank fails to respond within 8 weeks from our original communication, then we have the option to a) issue a formal complaint to the Financial Ombudsman and/or the Financial Services Authority (FSA), or b) to commence legal proceedings against your bank. Either option is dependant on your claim value and will be confirmed if your bank fails to respond in the allotted time.
- Once settlement of your claim has been confirmed, your invoice will be raised – you must settle this within 14 days of issue. Once you have settled your invoice in full our authority will cease and we will be discharged of any further obligations to you. During our claim’s process, we would ask that you limit any telephone contact unless absolutely necessary because any time spent discussing your claim restricts the claim progress and increases the processing time. Throughout our process, you may receive communications directly from your bank regarding the progress of your claim, including statements and gestures of goodwill settlements. You must contact us within 3 days of any offer or any such communication. By doing so, you will assist the progress of your claim. We have discovered a number of major high street banks are using an array of delaying tactics or attempting to offer tiny settlements. We can only advise you of the significance of any such communication if you promptly advise us upon receipt. You are advised that if you fail to advise us of any communication from your bank, you will not only impede the progress of your claim, but may also be liable to repay disbursement costs including but not limited to: legal fees, court fees and our service charge.
