Client Stories

Real victims. Real refunds.

Names changed for privacy. Recovery amounts are actual.

My bank refused twice. I thought the money was gone. The team picked it up, escalated to the Ombudsman, and three months later I had it back. I cannot recommend them enough.

Sarah K., 62
Crypto investment scam · Manchester
Recovered £47,200

I was tricked into moving my savings to a "safe account". I felt so stupid. They were patient, they didn't judge, and they got most of my money back. Honestly life-changing.

DM
David M., 71
Bank impersonation scam · Leeds
Recovered £18,500

I'd almost given up. Filled the form on a Tuesday, got a call within hours, and they handled everything. Even when the bank pushed back twice, they kept going.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

Is Online Refund really FCA regulated?

Online Refund is operated by Refundee Ltd, a claims management company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our FCA Firm Reference Number is 937096. You can verify our authorisation directly on the FCA Register.

What does ‘no win, no fee’ actually mean?

It means you don't pay anything upfront. Our case assessment is free. You only pay a fee if we successfully recover money for you, calculated as a percentage of the amount recovered. Full details of our fees are available in our fee structure and Summary of Key Information.

How long does the recovery process take?

Most cases take between 8 and 16 weeks, depending on complexity and whether your bank disputes our claim. Cases that escalate to the Financial Ombudsman may take longer. Your specialist will give you a realistic timeline once they've reviewed your case.

Do I have a strong case?

Every case is different. UK banking regulations, including the Contingent Reimbursement Model (CRM) Code and APP fraud reimbursement rules, give scam victims significant rights. Our specialists will assess your situation honestly and tell you whether we believe a claim is viable — at no cost.

Why do you ask for my phone number?

Scam recovery cases require detailed conversation to understand what happened. A specialist will call you back at a time that suits you. We never share your details with third parties for marketing purposes — see our Privacy Policy.

What if my bank already refused to refund me?

This is very common — and it doesn't mean your case is closed. Many of our successful claims involve clients whose initial complaint was rejected by their bank. We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman where appropriate.

Can I cancel after I sign up?

Yes. You can cancel free of charge at any time before a redress offer has been made on your case. Once a redress offer has been made, our fee becomes payable. To cancel, call us on 07822 015330 or email enquiries@refundee.com.
