OUR SERVICES​

Claimline Legal UK Ltd will review your completed application and any documents provided with a view to ascertaining if your mis-sold car finance claim is valid. 

Where we feel it has no merit or we cannot take it forward we will communicate this to you outlining the reasons why and will explain your potential options.​ Where we are able to pursue the mis-sold car finance claim on your behalf, we will provide the following services. 

Gather relevant information from you and your Product Company, compile and submit a professional claim, liaise with the relevant parties, Financial Ombudsman Service and where applicable Financial Services Compensation Scheme with a view to securing a successful claim on your behalf.

We will update you when there is any material change to your claim, but no more than 6 months apart. You can request an update by contacting us and quoting your claim reference.​
