Fees and how we’re paid

Our check is free. If you choose to use a firm, they’ll explain their fees before you sign anything.

What we charge you

Nothing. Our claim check is free, and we don’t charge you for introducing you to a firm.

How we’re paid

The firms we work with pay us a fee for each customer we introduce. The firm pays this, not you. We tell you which firm we’ve passed your details to.

What firms can charge

Firms usually charge a percentage of any compensation, and must explain exactly what they charge before you sign. For financial services claims, the most an FCA-authorised claims management company can charge is capped:

CompensationMaximum feeMaximum fee incl. VAT
£1 to £1,49930% (up to £420)£504
£1,500 to £9,99928% (up to £2,500)£3,000
£10,000 to £24,99925% (up to £5,000)£6,000
£25,000 to £49,99920% (up to £7,500)£9,000
£50,000 or more15% (up to £10,000)£12,000

The cap doesn’t apply to claims taken to court. Law firms are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and set their own fees, which they must explain to you.
