Pre-contract summary of our Claims Management Service

What will Reclaims 4U Ltd do for you?

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 speak with us so that we can establish the basis and merits of your claim. You will also need to provide us with any documentation which relates to your claim that you possess. Such documentation might include (but not limited to); suitability reports, finance agreements, product documentation and bank statements. We may also need proof of identity documentation from you. You will need to sign paperwork which is required for your claim in a timely manner.

How will we keep you updated?

We will manage the entirety of your claim and keep you updated along the way. We will update you within 10 working days when there are any material developments on your case or when we receive any information which is for your attention. Where there are no material developments, we will update you at least every 6 months in writing.

How much will it cost?

If Your Claim is rejected by the Third Party, there will be no Fee. This is a No Win No Fee agreement.

If your claim is successful, the total fee is a percentage of your gross redress or the maximum amount listed in column (2) below, whichever is lower.

1. Redress amount	2. Your Fee (+VAT)	3. Example Redress	4. Example Fee (inc VAT)
£1 – £1,499	30% up to a max of £420	£750	£270
£1,500 – £9,999	28% up to a max of £2,500	£3,000	£1,008
£10,000 – £24,999	25% up to a max of £5,000	£15,000	£4,500
£25,000 – £49,999	20% up to a max of £7,500	£30,000	£7,200

The examples shown in columns (3) and (4) above are for illustration purposes only and are not to be taken as an estimate of the likely amounts to be recovered. The amount you receive may be more or less than these examples.

Our fee is payable on the entire amount recovered as a result of our work, even if you don’t personally receive the full amount (perhaps because you owe money to the third party who the claim is against).

Can I change my mind?

You can cancel for free within 14 days from when you sign our Terms and Conditions. You can cancel at any time after this initial 14 days 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 18 hours. For example, if you cancel your claim and we have undertaken 10 hours of work, your cancellation fee would be £500+VAT.

What other options are available to pursue my claim?

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.

Process

A) Acknowledgement:

We aim to resolve any expression of dissatisfaction as soon as possible, where this is in done within 3 business days, we will not usually confirm acknowledgement of the complaint in writing.

If it takes us longer than 3 business days to resolve your complaint, we will send you a written or electronic acknowledgement of a complaint within five business days of receipt, identifying the person who will be handling the complaint for the business.

B) Investigation:

Wherever possible, the person handling your complaint will not have been directly involved in the matter which is the subject of the complaint, and will have authority to settle the complaint.

Within four weeks of receiving a complaint, we will send you either:

i. final response adequately addressing the complaint; or
ii. a holding response, which explains why we are not yet in a position to resolve the complaint and indicates when we will make further contact with you.

C) Our Decision:

Within eight weeks of receiving a complaint we will send you either:

i. a final response adequately addressing the complaint and outlining your right to appeal with the Claims Management Ombudsman (CMO); or
ii. a response which:
- a) explains why we are still not in a position to make a final response, giving reasons for the further delay and indicating when we expect to be able to provide a final response; and
- b) informs you that you may refer the handling of the complaint to the Claims Management Ombudsman (CMO) if you are dissatisfied with the delay.

Where we decide that redress is appropriate, we will provide you with fair compensation for any acts or omissions for which we are responsible and will comply with any offer of redress that you accept. Appropriate redress will not always involve financial redress, but could involve an apology or another suitable form of redress.

D) Appeals:

If you are not satisfied with our decision regarding a complaint about us and you have allowed us the relevant time frames to respond to you, you can appeal this with the Claims Management Ombudsman (CMO) at:
