Advising consumer lenders on (a) challenges to the compliance of their documentation (both compliance with consumer credit regulation and consumer protection legislation), (b) allegations of mis-selling and (c) claims and complaints about the reporting of customer information to credit reference agencies.
Advising on complicated title issues relating to assets (including motor vehicles and equipment), satisfactory quality issues (with a particular expertise on high-value motor vehicles) and wrongful interference issues where assets or vehicles have been disposed of to third parties.
