Turn unfair
overdraft fees
into a cash refund.
Frequently asked questions
How do we work out what you’re owed?
Getting your money back shouldn't depend on what old statements you can dig out of the attic.
Instead, we use Open Banking. We securely connect to your account to automatically find the exact transactions that prove your complaint.
It’s bank-level safe. We never see your login details. Our access is strictly read-only - we can’t touch a single penny, and our live access automatically cuts off after 90 days.
(Open Banking wasn't our idea. The UK's biggest banks built it. See for yourself why NatWest and Lloyds Bank use it.)
What if I’ve closed the account with an overdraft or moved bank?
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.
Can I complain if I’m in a DRO, IVA, or bankruptcy?
Don't do it. A refund is considered a "windfall" and will likely be seized by the Official Receiver. Worse, receiving it could breach your asset limits and cancel your debt relief entirely.

We are an SRA-regulated service that holds banks accountable to the law.

We have legal muscle
Ask the regulator. (Spoiler: They say the rules are on your side.)
What makes a complaint
Even the banks admit this. For example, 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. If they don’t, you could have a complaint.
Overdrafts are for emergencies, not profit
For 10 years, "Mrs B" was overdrawn by day 8 of every single month. Santander did nothing but charge her 39.9% APR.
The reality is different
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.”

There are no hidden charges, no hourly fees, and no unexpected costs added by us - even if you cancel your complaint.
Abour our fees
- 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.
There are a lot of myths about what happens when you complain - here’s the reality.
What this means for your account, overdraft & credit file
Myth
Your bank account
"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.
Myth
Your overdraft
"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.
Myth
Your credit file
"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.
