You need to find a reputable financial claims management company to act on your behalf. How do you find one from the ever increasing number? And what do you look for?

Up front fees

This is a sore point for some people who wonder why ‘upfront fees’ are charged at all. The vast majority of financial claims managers charge fees in order to carry out a full and detailed audit. These range from around £195 to £495. Basically this is to look at your agreement in detail and assess it for breaches. There is a great deal of work involved. The process takes up to a year at the moment. The rational behind this is that the companies need some form of liquidity as every business does. The fees are refunded if your agreement is found not to be unenforceable. Some companies take a small administration fee.

Auditing – Don’t be mislead

Your agreement must be obtained from your lender before you have a definitive answer as to whether you have an unenforceable contract or not and this will cost you £10 usually. Some companies offer this free and some request £1.00 which is the minimum fee stipulated under the data protection act. It is only after a full audit that you will know if you have a claim or not. Some companies mislead clients by saying they offer a free audit when in reality they ask the same preliminary telephone questions that all companies ask to establish if it is worth considering a full audit or not. For example was the agreement taken out prior to April 2007? What is the balance? Different companies claim for different balance amounts. Who is the lender? Some have more of a reputation for writing unenforceable agreements than others. This is not a full audit. As far as I know there is no company out there yet which offers a solicitors audit – free.

Successful Claims

The majority of companies have been in business for over a year now. Some will be ‘introducers’ for other main companies. They should be able to tell you how many successful claims they have achieved and the length of time it took to achieve the results.

Back end fees

Some companies charge fees at the completion stage of your claim. Be sure to ask if this is the case for you. Some charge 30% while some charge a fix amount of £1000. Most companies don’t charge any fees.

Other fee structures

I have come across some peculiar fee structure whereby some companies offer to handle your claim for you paying them six months credit card repayments. Others offer to take over your debt for you and leave you debt free in six weeks. I would not take these seriously. There are plenty of straightforward ways to clear your cards for a reasonable fee, no misleading promises of a free audit and certainly no back end fees.

Time scales

The process is a long one relying on the co-operation of your lender which of course is not likely to be forthcoming. The legal to and fro-ing will take up to a year. There is no way to avoid this so claims of speedy conclusions, at the moment, are false. The lenders use all sorts of tactics to delay matter for example refusing to send the copy of the agreement to your claims manager but only dealing with you and completely ignoring the requests made by your solicitor.

It isn’t debt management, an IVA or bankruptcy. It is a new and rapidly expanding industry which examines your credit agreements taken out before April 1974 to see if they comply with the terms and conditions of the 1974 Consumer Credit Act.

1974 Consumer Credit Act

1974 Consumer Credit Act

It has been discovered that many finance and credit agreements signed before April 2007 breach the terms and conditions of the 1974 Consumer Credit Act. It is possible to have any agreement you have ‘audited’ by a solicitor to check the contract to see if it complies with the 1974 Act. If is does not, it is unenforceable and you can apply to your lender to wipe out the whole balance.

Because of the manner in which the banks and lenders solicitors drew up the finance agreements we signed, I.e ignoring the law as laid down by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, it is possible to take your lenders to court and apply to wipe out the entire balance. The fact is that the banks and lenders did not adhere to the very strict and complex terms which were required to be written into the contract by the 1974 Act. This law was designed to protect us, the consumer from the whims of the lenders with regard to interest rates rises etc. It has been found that many of credit finance agreements are not valid contracts because they don’t comply with the very strict terms and conditions of the act and this actually makes them unenforceable contracts which is why you can apply for a wipe out of the debt.
