Free Recovery of ‘illegal’ Bank Charges for Cartel Client Review Clients

If you become a client of Cartel Client Review from the 18th October 2008 onwards, you are, subject to terms and conditions, eligible for a no fee, no cost, bank charges reclaim service from Cartel Reverse Bank Charges.

  • No up-front fee
  • No contingency fee
  • 100% of the charges refunded and any compensation and interest is yours

Why May I be Able to Recover my Bank Charges?

The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations state that charges should not exceed the cost to the provider. Do you think that each charge made by your bank, charges of possibly £25 plus, is a fair representation of what it costs the bank?


While banks have tried to argue that the ‘Unfair Terms’ regulations do not apply to their bank charges, many commentators believe that this is not the case and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is currently running a test case against 8 major banks.


While this test case is in progress a ‘stay’ has been placed by the courts but it is highly recommended that you should submit your claim quickly.


  • Why Submit Your Claim Now?

    There is a 6 year limit from the date of a claim being issued. Issue a claim now to ensure you can reclaim back as far as possible.


    Even with the ‘stay’ in place, Cartel Head Office staff are specialists at identifying circumstances that will allow you, where possible, to make your claim now. You may still get a ‘payout’ while everyone else is waiting!

  • Already Submitted A Claim?

    If you have already registered with a firm who will charge you a fee you may still be able to swap to Cartel to take advantage of our no fee service.

We assess each products chance of success

 

Each product you have submitted for review will be summarised by one of the following three underwriting outcomes:-

  • Yes - The review has identified a good chance of success for this particular product, on the basis that it would potentially result in a claim of £5000 or more (based on the information given).
  • No - No - We do not believe that making a claim would result in a claim of £5000 or more.
  • Possible - Documents are required from the lender before the case can be reasonably assessed. The chances of success cannot be reasonably assessed without the client documents.

In the event of an unsuccessful claim you will have no costs to pay and you will receive a full refund of the £495, subject to our Terms and Conditions.

 

Payment

On conclusion of your successful claim you receive payment

 

Under normal circumstances you can expect your payment to be made up of both your actual financial losses, plus compensation for these losses. In most cases we would expect a payment to be made within 6 to 9 months of the claim being accepted by the solicitor.
