We're here to help.
There's no such thing as a silly question (most of the time)!
We've included some of our frequently asked ones below, but if they aren't what you're looking for, you can use our contact form.
If you can't access your account anymore
What if you've closed the account with an overdraft or moved bank?
No access. No analysis.
Right now, we can only dig into the accounts you can still log into. If you can connect to them today, we can find what you’re owed.
The way our tech works is by connecting directly to your active accounts. If an account is closed and the "keys" have been handed back, we can't get in to see the data.

What makes a complaint
Ask the regulator. (Spoiler: They say the rules are on your side.)
Overdrafts are for emergencies, not profit
Even the banks admit this. NatWest and Lloyds both call it a "short-term safety net". The regulator (FCA) says if you’re overdrawn every month, they are supposed to help, not just profit.
The reality is different
For 10 years, "Mrs B" was overdrawn by day 8 of every single month. Santander did nothing but charge her 39.9% APR.
The bank was in the wrong
“If Santander had appropriately monitored Mrs B’s overdraft use and intervened in line with its obligations under CONC, I don’t think she would have paid the charges and interest for the use of the overdraft, and the bank wouldn’t have benefitted from them. It’s fair then, that the charges and interest paid should be returned to her.”

What this means for your account, overdraft & credit file
There are a lot of myths about what happens when you complain - here’s the reality.
Your bank account
Myth
"They’ll close my account just for complaining".
Reality
Don’t worry about being "ghosted" by your bank. The regulator (FCA) is clear: a complaint is a regulatory right, not a reason to close your account. They aren't allowed to block your custom or change the products they offer to you just because our tech found a gap in their compliance.
Your overdraft
Myth
"Will they take my overdraft away if I don't win?".
Reality
We aren’t aware of a single instance where a bank pulled an overdraft after rejecting a complaint.
If you win, the bank has to stop the lending that caused the problem. Yes, the overdraft should be reduced or removed, but that’s because you’ve won the fight against the fees and interest. We’ll help you negotiate the terms if you’re not happy with the bank’s offer.
Your credit file
Myth
"A complaint leaves a black mark".
Reality
It often does the opposite. Simply asking for a refund is private and invisible to lenders. If we prove they lent irresponsibly, they often have to remove negative markers, which can actually boost your score.
About our fees
There are no hidden charges, no hourly fees, and no unexpected costs added by us - even if you cancel your complaint.
- We’ll tell you if we think you have a winning complaint and what we think the bank owes you for free.
- If you choose to complain and win, our fee is a maximum of 36% of the bank's offer.
- If we don't win, you pay absolutely nothing.
- Oh, and no - there are no other sneaky charges.
