Frequently Asked Questions

What Credit Agreements are eligible for ‘Audit’?

Any Credit Agreement between £5,000.00 and £25,000.00 that is governed by the Consumer Credit Act of 1974. Including:


? Credit Cards and Store Cards
? Unsecured Personal Loans
? Secured Loans
? Consolidation Loans
? Car Loans/Finance Agreements
? Hire Purchase

I am not sure if I have the original agreements anymore, I guess that means you can’t help me?
Whether you have the original Credit Agreement or not we can request it for you. Even if you do have it, we need to make sure that we have an exact copy of the agreement held by the lender and would request it no matter what your situation.

Why do you charge an upfront fee?
Our fee covers all administration and legal advice needed to determine if your Credit Agreement is unenforceable.

What does ‘unenforceable’ actually mean?
When an agreement is unenforceable it literally means that the terms of the agreement may not be enforced i.e. if the agreement is judged to be unenforceable you would not have to repay any outstanding amount.

How long will it take to write off my Loan ?
If our Solicitors decide that they can write off your Loan, they will complete the Legal work necessary to arrange for your Lender to completely write off your Loans in around 6 to 7 months. Alternatively, under their "Fast Track Scheme" our Solicitors arrange for your Lender to completely write off your Loans in around 2 to 3 months.

Will I be entitled to receive a refund of some or all of my previous Loan Repayments?
Our Solicitors guarantee to write off your Loan and attempt to obtain a refund of some or all of your previous Loan Repayments. However, whether you receive a refund of your previous Loan Repayments will depend very much on what aspects of Law your Lender has broken. Therefore, our Solicitors can only guarantee to write off your Loan and can not guarantee to obtain a refund of some or all of your Loan Repayments.

Will my Lender chase me for money or take me to Court ?
No, because our Solicitors will be acting on your behalf and your Lender must direct all communication to them and they cannot take you to Court because the Loan Agreement is in dispute. In the unlikely event you receive any contact from your Lender after you have engaged our Solicitors, then you should refuse to discuss the matter and tell them to contact the Solicitors.

Will writing off my Loan affect my Credit Rating ?
No, when you stop making your Loan payments to your Lender and our Solicitors start communicating with your Lender, your Loan Account will be "in dispute". Therefore, under The Data Protection Act 1998 and The Banking Code, your Lender and the Credit Reference Agencies are forbidden from entering any negative information about you. When your Loan has been written off, your Credit Report will then show your Loan as "settled" or all information about the account will be removed, this is exactly the information that would show on your Credit Report if you had repaid the Loan in full.

Will I still be able to take out other Loans in the future ?
Yes, because your Credit Rating will not have been harmed in any way. However, it is possible that the Lender who wrote your Loan off will not want to offer you a new Loan.

Can I see some examples of Loans your Solicitors have written off ?
Unfortunately, due to the very strict client confidentiality rules that govern a relationship between a client and their Solicitor, we are forbidden to provide you with details of previous successful cases. However, we can provide you with links through our website pointing you towards stories of clients who have chosen to tell their story to the press. Please remember that if you do decide to use our Solicitors service, there is absolutely no financial risk to yourself or your credit rating

Will my Lender be able to take any action against me ?
No, because using our Solicitors to write off your Loan is simply exercising your rights as a consumer. The Laws that govern Lenders continue to treat you fairly. However, after your Loan has been written off by a particular Lender, the same Lender may not wish to offer you a new Loan in the future.

If your Solicitors confirm that my loan can be written off, could they be wrong ?
Not really, but if they were wrong, they will return any money you have paid to them, your credit rating will not have been harmed and therefore no harm will have been caused. In addition, our Solicitors will have completely wasted many hours of their time and earned absolutely no money.

Do I keep paying my monthly payments after contacting your Company ?
If you do not want to ruin your Credit Rating, you must continue to keep making your monthly payments until they have confirmed to you in writing that you can stop making your Loan payments, this normally takes only a few days after you have completed the necessary paperwork.

What other services does Monster Claims Ltd provide?
Being specialists in financial claims we can also help you to:

? Reclaim Unfair Bank Charges
? Reclaim Unfair Credit Card Charges
? Reclaim Mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)

Do you charge a fee for your other services?
Yes, but we only charge you a fee if we recover any monies for you; if your claim is not successful or if you are not awarded any money we charge no fee*.

In fact if your Credit Agreement Claim is unsuccessful, we will subtract the Audit Fee from any other service charge normally due from any other successful claim with us. For example:

If we recovered a total of £1,450 from Credit Card Charges/Bank Charges/Mis-sold PPI (separate to your Credit Agreement Claim) our fee would normally be £109.950 (20% of the amount recovered).

Having already paid us £119.95 we would instead subtract it from the normal charge levied on our other claims, returning £119.95 to you.


Points To Remember

• The agreement must pre date 06/04/2007.
• The remaining balance must be between £5,000 & £25,000.
• The agreement must still be active.
• You must include the start date and finish date of the agreement (Except Credit & Store Cards)
