What Are Financial Services Disputes?

Financial services disputes arise when consumers or businesses believe they’ve been wronged by banks, investment firms, or other financial institutions. The complexity of financial products often creates knowledge gaps that can lead to exploitation, mis-selling, or misrepresentation. Our solicitors bridge this gap, providing expert representation in all types of financial disputes.

When Do You Need Financial Dispute Support?

You may need our services if:

  • Your bank account has been frozen
  • You’ve been mis-sold financial products
  • Investment advice was unsuitable
  • Credit agreements were misrepresented
  • Banking facilities have been withdrawn unfairly

Banking Disputes

Commercial Banking Issues

  • Commercial loan facility disputes
  • Asset finance disagreements
  • Acquisition finance problems
  • Property finance conflicts
  • Secured and unsecured loan disputes
  • Derivatives and complex instruments

Retail Banking Problems

  • Personal loan disputes
  • Mortgage disagreements
  • Overdraft facility issues
  • Banking charges disputes
  • Service complaint escalation

Account Freezes and Withheld Funds

Understanding Account Freezes

Account freezes prevent further transactions and suspend most account activities immediately. Banks monitor accounts for suspicious activity and may freeze accounts suspected of:

  • Money laundering activities
  • Account fraud
  • Unusual transaction patterns
  • Financial crime indicators
  • Regulatory compliance issues

Impact of Account Freezes

  • Suspended pre-authorized transactions
  • Blocked direct debits
  • Business cashflow disruption
  • Personal financial hardship
  • Reputational damage
  • Operational difficulties for SMEs and charities

Our Track Record

We have successfully recovered over £1 million in frozen client funds. Our approach includes:

  • Immediate intervention with banks
  • Challenging freeze justifications
  • Negotiating fund releases
  • Court applications where necessary
  • Full case management support

Consumer Credit and Goods Disputes

Credit Agreement Issues

  • Section 75 credit card claims
  • Conditional sale agreements
  • Consumer hire agreements
  • Credit agreement disputes
  • Debt respite moratorium applications
  • Hire-purchase disagreements

Consumer Rights Protection

The consumer credit landscape provides extensive rights, but knowledge gaps often prevent full entitlement claims. We ensure you receive:

  • Full statutory protection
  • Proper compensation
  • Contract rectification
  • Refunds where applicable
  • Interest and charges reversal

Investment Disputes
