Bill Irvine successfully refuted a clawback claim form a Council and they backed down very quickly once they realised he knew more about the system than they did!

Appealing Overpayment Decisions
We have worked with several landlords already, with overpayment reclaims in the thousands of pounds, and have successfully managed to argue that decision to reclaim from the landlord was incorrect.
By knowing who to direct correspondence with to gain the best results, and knowing the legal objections to raise, means that we have a significant chance of being successful.
We will continue to progress the case, and if necessary, will represent you in First and Upper-tier tribunals to ensure the reclaim decision is overturned.
Historical Claims Too - Get your money back
Whether the money has already been collected by the council, or whether it is a new or ongoing reclaim, you have up to 13 months to appeal the decision, and get back any money already paid.
NO WIN - NO FEE
To help landlords out, and to avoid the worry about "throwing good money after bad", we have decided to offer a no-win, no-fee service.
If we are not successful, you are no worse off than before you started.
If we are successful, you will certainly be better off!
