The TSB brand of Lloyds Banking Group was brought back to the high street in 2013.

We’ve seen examples where TSB’s affordability checks are not always detailed enough or good enough – given some customers’ individual circumstances. For example, this ombudsman decision:

‘The assessment TSB carried out might well be reasonable in some cases. However, the regulations stated that certain factors might point to the need for a more rigorous assessment and, having considered this point carefully, I think that Mr C’s relatively low stated income meant that TSB needed to take extra care in approving a £3,000 loan for him. The repayments were likely to have a greater impact on his finances than if he earned more or had been offered a smaller loan and Mr C would need to meet his monthly repayments for three years, while meeting his other debts. Altogether, I’ve concluded that TSB’s checks weren’t proportionate on this occasion and it should have looked into Mr C’s actual means in more depth before agreeing to lend to him.’ https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/decision/DRN-4340309.pdf

Our Unaffordable Lending Claims Process

We realise that claiming against your lender can seem daunting. We aim to make the claiming process as simple as possible. We specialise in affordability claims. Our experienced team will communicate with the lender (and where required, the Ombudsman service) on your behalf. We use bespoke technology to ensure efficient claims handling. Throughout the process, we inform you of claim progress using a “stage process”, so you can track your progress easily. Please remember though, that you do not need to use a claims management company to make your complaint to your lender, and if your complaint is not successful you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service yourself for free.

  • Step 1

    Pre complaint investigation and analysis

  • Step 2

    Formal unaffordable lending complaint made

  • Step 3

    Lender responds with a Final Response Letter

  • Step 4

    If appropriate resolution cannot be reached with the lender, referral to Financial Ombudsman Service.

Our Fees

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 33.60% £3,000
3 £10,000 to £24,999 30% £6,000
4 £25,000 to £49,999 24% £,9000
5 £50,000 or more 18% £12,000

Below are examples of how this would work in practice.
