Common questions

Can you guarantee I will get my money back?
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a recovery. Outcomes depend on how the payments were made, what your bank did, the rules that apply and the evidence available. Be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed result.
Do I have to use a company to make a claim?
No. You can complain to your bank yourself for free and, if needed, escalate to the ombudsman yourself. Our Claim it yourself guide explains how. Some people prefer help with the evidence and the process, and that is what we offer.
What does it cost?
Our fees are set out in full on the Our fees page before you sign anything. You will never be asked to pay a "release fee", a "tax" or anything in cryptocurrency to receive recovered money.
How long does it take?
It varies. Banks usually respond to a complaint within a few weeks. If a case goes to the ombudsman, it can take several months. Your portal shows each step as it happens.
