Detailed report on the Camberwell FX collapse. The morning of January 16 began with news of insolvency. My balance held £62,404. I approached this firm in February. The process with the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme) took about three months. The lawyers warned me right away about the compensation limit (at the time it was a maximum of £50,000, only later, in 2019, was it raised). They filled in all the forms without me, I only provided the statements. On May 18 exactly £50,000 arrived in my account. The remaining £12,404 I consider the price of a life lesson. Satisfied with the work, clear and to the point.

They recovered 4,100 out of 61,000. For that: 1,500 up front plus 20 percent of what came back. Which left me with about 1,800. I'm not saying they worked badly, maybe theree was nothing more to get. I'm saying that if you take a percentage of the recovery and keep the retainer, the only one carrying risk is me. Do the arithmetic yourselves and think about it.

Dear Mr Osei, your calculation is correct. Under this fee structure the financial risk sits with the client. The retainer covers work carried out regardless of outcome and is set below the hourly rate for that reason. In matters where the recoverable sum is uncertain we no longer offer this model.

i thought my funds on bitgrail were gone forever when the Italian court opened that bankruptcy. I'm a translator and for me 34,270.28 euros is a huge sum that I saved up over two years. the guys from the law firm helped me prove that my assets were on a segregated account. they recovered almost all of it in full thrrough the inslvency estate. thanks to the court in Florence nad to the lawyers. 🙏

They lost my file. Not permanently, it turned up a week later, but for a week I was told I had never sent it. I had the delivery receipt. The unpleasant part isn’t losing it, it’s that the first response was to put it on me. After that the work was fine, the money came back in part.

A grey morning when the next letter about the troubled bank arrived. Again the EdW fund. A few months of waiting. Didn’t give up – it all came through to the end right on schedule.

My son wrote to them because I don’t understand anything about crypto. There was 15 thousand dollars in some Zephyra Protocol, I thought it was all gone, written off. But after half a year 9 thousand came. Thanks to the team for sorting things out with those hackers.

Ok listen up. dealt with those assholes from TopOption, in short. they just wouldn't let me withdraw the money, no way, no chance, and me a barber in Gdansk, every penny in the account counts. the neighbors recommended these lawyers to me. called me a hundred times. give us documents, give us a statement. the firm of coursee didn't pomse a 100% refund right waay, they told it like it is. Got back 7,000 euros out of 10. three grand went somewhere. well, that's where it ends. Bottom line, it's fine, but it cost me a fuckload of nerves.

The Zenith Yield platform turned out to be an empty shell; the director had run up debts and gone bankrupt. The lawyers tracked down his hidden assets through the court-appointed administrator. £21,952 came back.

Fortissio. Court-ordered restitution was the only road, as they explained to me. Sum around thirty thousand euros. I’m a farmer, not a finance man, so my daughter read almost all the letters. Good that nobody llaughed at my questions.
