Explaining No Win No Fee Claims

Not all solicitors covering Stevenage will expect you to pay your legal fees upfront. You could, as an alternative, consider using the services of a No Win No Fee solicitor. This is known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). When you engage a solicitor to process your claim under a CFA, it means that:

  • You won’t have to pay your solicitor anything for them to start working on your claim, and while they are helping you prepare for making your claim.
  • You don’t pay any legal fees at all until the claim has been processed. Even if it takes your solicitor months to reach a resolution to your claim, they won’t ask you to pay any fees until the end.
  • If your solicitor doesn’t manage to secure you a compensation settlement once they have finished processing your claim for you, then you don’t pay your solicitor any fees at all.
  • If your solicitor does manage to secure a compensation settlement for you, they won’t expect you to pay any fees at all until they have received the compensation payment for you. They will then take their pre-agreed percentage of the total amount as their fee automatically, which is capped at 25% maximum, and then give you the money that is left.

As you can see, the financial risks associated with making a claim are minimised significantly by using a solicitor that offers to process your claim under a CFA. If you would like one of our claims team to explain more about how this service works, please call them on the number down at the end of the page.

Claim For The Misselling Of Financial Products And Services

Whenever you are discussing the purchase of a financial product such as Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), a Self-Invested Pension Plan (SIPP), or a pension annuity, there are specific rules the financial advisor must follow. These rules relate to the way that the financial advisor deal with your fairly, and ethically. A mis selling definition might include:

  • You must be questioned about your lifestyle and habits such as whether you smoke or drink.
  • You must be asked about your health and any prior or current medical conditions.
  • The financial advisor must tell you what their level of experience is in selling financial products such as the ones they are offering you.
  • You must be told that there may be other financial products that would suit you better than the one you are being offered.
  • All financial risks must be divulged, and you must be informed that your money could be at risk.
  • The financial advisor must provide you with the best advice for your circumstances, regardless of whether this advice would indicate that you should not purchase the product you are being offered.

If your financial advisor fails to follow these rules to the letter and you subsequently suffer financial losses, you could have a basis for making a claim. If you speak to one of our claims experts, they will go over your potential claim with you and let you know whether you have grounds to make a financial mis selling claim or not.

No Win No Fee Rent Deposit Claims

As a tenant who is renting property from a private landlord or a letting agency, there are certain rules that your landlord must follow, with regards to the tenancy deposit you hand them. These include:

  • Within 30 days of being given a tenancy deposit, the landlord must take steps to protect the deposit money financially. What this means is, the landlord can’t spend your deposit, and they must make sure it is safeguarded if they go bankrupt. This is usually done by placing the deposit into a fenced account.
  • For the entire term of your tenancy, the landlord must content to protect your deposit. They cannot spend it or add it to their working capital. It must be kept separate and protected.
  • Your landlord must return your deposit to you in full when you give up your tenancy. Unless there is some legal reason for them to keep your deposit in full or partially. For example, you breached the terms of your tenancy contract in some way.

When your landlord refuses or cannot return your deposit, you could be able to take action to get it back. With a rent deposit, small claims court could be used to make a claim against the landlord. We can help you with this, speak to our claims team to learn how.
