Good to know: We are a Claims Management Company (CMC). You do not need to use a CMC to make your complaint to your lender, bank or insurer. If your complaint is not successful you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service yourself for free if the firm is still trading. For eligible failed firms, you can refer a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for free.
Our success fee is due only if your lender makes a compensation payout, and is calculated on the amount of the compensation payout. We do not charge you for any part of a settlement that results in the lender reducing your outstanding balance – that is on the house!
The success fee amount is calculated using a band charging system. There are five charging bands. Each band has a maximum amount that we will charge.
Success Fee Charging Table
| Band | Compensation Payout | Percentage rate the Success Fee is calculated on (including VAT) | Maximum Success Fee in band (including VAT) |
| 1 | £1 to £1,499 | 36% | £504 |
| 2 | £1,500 to £9,999 | 33.6% | £3,000 |
| 3 | £10,000 to £24,999 | 30% | £6,000 |
| 4 | £25,000 to £49,999 | 24% | £9,000 |
| 5 | £50,000 or more | 18% | £12,000 |

Please note that the examples in the tables are for illustration purposes only. They are not an estimate of the likely outcome or success fee.
We have created a fee calculator that allows you to calculate what your fees would be based on any compensation payout from your lender.
The below calculator should be used for any contracts entered into on or after the 1st March 2022 for an Unaffordable Lending Claim. If you entered into a contract with us prior to the 1st March 2022 please refer to your contract terms.
Please note that any projections provided by our fee calculator are purely based on information you input into it. This is not a guarantee of what you will receive from your lender, or what your fee would be, meaning that if you input an example ‘Compensation Payout’, the professional fee would be an example of what you would pay, based on this.
The calculator can only provide an accurate explanation of our fee calculation if you use it to submit details of any compensation your lender has confirmed that they are making.
