Recovering what the bank overcharged you

We review the deed and the contract and claim set-up costs, fees, default interest and floor or multi-currency clauses.

Banking: unfair terms and mortgage costs

What is included

  • Analysis of the deed and the amortisation schedule
  • Calculation of the claimable amount with interest
  • Claim to the bank’s complaints service and to the central bank

What is included and what is not promised

What can be recovered depends on what you signed and when, not on what the adverts say. Reading the deed before claiming avoids starting a case that was lost from the outset.

What it includes: analysis of the deed and the amortisation schedule; calculation of the claimable amount with interest; claim to the bank’s complaints service and to the central bank. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee a refund: it depends on the specific clause, the date and the case law applicable at the time.

Documents you will need

  • Full mortgage loan deed.
  • Invoices from notary, agency, registry and valuation.
  • Amortisation schedule and receipts.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 3 and 8 working days.

The bank has a statutory response deadline; if refused, the central bank complaint or the court route adds months.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 8 days.

  1. We read the documents

    We read the deed and the repayment schedule and tell you which clauses can be claimed and how much they add up to with interest.

  2. Written demand

    We ask for the loan deed, the notary, registry, agency and valuation invoices, and the receipts. Agreed price for the claim.

  3. Negotiation

    We claim in writing from the bank's customer service department with a detailed calculation of what you are owed.

  4. Agreement or next route

    If the bank does not reply or refuses, we complain to the Bank of Spain and explain which court route remains and how it is charged.

What to have at hand

How the limitation period runs in these cases has changed. We check against your deed.
