Banks
Duncan Lewis Litigation Solicitors – Banks
Taking legal action against a bank for professional negligence can be a stressful experience – clients trust their bank to offer the best advice and service and when things go wrong, the results can not only be financially disastrous, but can have a knock-on effect and may affect credit rating, or getting a loan or a mortgage.
Banks have a duty of care to their personal customers and business clients – and legislation is there to protect a customer if a bank is guilty of professional negligence.
Banks all have a customer complaints process – but will often take a defensive stance to a complaint.
It is vital to seek legal advice from an expert banking litigation solicitor if a bank has acted negligently – Duncan Lewis can advise at any stage of a banking claim and can assess the details of any claim and handle negotiations with the bank.
A claim for professional negligence against a bank often results in a high-value payout, which banks will try and avoid.
Duncan Lewis financial litigation solicitors have a successful track record in handling claims against banks for professional negligence, including claims involving:
- Bank loans
- Business banking
- Car loans
- Debt management
- Home loans
- Insurance (including holiday insurance)
- Investments
- Online banking
- Personal banking
- Tax advice
- Wills & trusts.
Duncan Lewis can review any agreement between a client and a bank in detail – and can also review meetings with bank staff, conversations and instructions given in emails, over the phone or in correspondence.
Professional negligence claims against banks can involve decisions made years before the negligence became evident – and can have profound and long-lasting effects on the financial health of a business or family.
Taking legal advice at an early stage of a dispute with a bank can prevent the situation escalating.
