Questions clients ask us most often

The bank has sent me a notice or started recovery proceedings against me. What should I do?

Do not ignore a bank notice or recovery proceeding. We review the notice, loan or financing documents and the circumstances of the matter, then advise you on the appropriate response and represent you throughout the legal proceedings.

I have a dispute with my bank over a loan or my account. Can you help?

Yes. We review the loan or financing arrangement, account records and correspondence with the bank to understand the dispute. We then advise you on the available options and assist with negotiation or legal proceedings where necessary.

I believe the bank has made an incorrect charge or deduction from my account. What can I do?

We review your account records and the basis of the disputed charge or deduction. Where there are grounds to challenge the bank's action, we help you raise the matter with the bank and pursue the appropriate legal remedy if it is not resolved.
