Rules for choosing the right company
In this article, we will tell you what you should pay attention to when choosing a Law Firm in order not to become a victim of scammers again. This is a very important topic, because in the legal field, as in the brokerage business, there are plenty of those who are ready to get rich on someone else's grief.
The site of the company
As a rule, the first thing you see when contacting a Law Firm is a website. Study it carefully. Does the company deal exclusively with chargeback or general legal advice? Is there information about the Company? Where is the hotline number, registration information? Is the site secure or not? You can find out by checking the first letters in the address bar: https is secure, http is not secure. Are there photos of the Company's employees on the site? If the site only does what it asks for your contact information in different ways, this should be alarming.
Determining the perspective on the chargeback
One of the key points that you should pay attention to is the collection of primary information to initiate a chargeback. Before concluding an agreement and paying the invoice for legal assistance, remember whether you were asked questions about the situation, whether you were asked to send documents to assess the prospect of a refund, whether you received feedback on the case. Indeed, often by asking superficial questions, they can tell you about readiness for work, without even understanding the situation. There is a good chance that no work will be done on your case at all.
Chargeback guarantee
Let's talk about guarantees. Are you guaranteed a 100% money back guarantee? Immediately remember the broker and your interaction with them before you invested. Most brokers promise and swear that you will make money on all your dreams, and in the end you are among those who are looking for help to return funds from the same broker.
A Law Firm that is really ready to help should analyze the situation as a whole and give some kind of assessment of success, provide facts and reasons due to which a return can be made. But it cannot guarantee success, since it only contributes to the return, and much in the chargeback process depends on your Bank, the broker's responses and the Payment System.
Often people themselves ask for guarantees, but if they give them to you, these are just words. When concluding a contract, a conscientious specialist cannot guarantee a refund. Be careful with those who do otherwise, promising a chargeback of 90% or even 100%.
Fast service
The return process cannot be completed in a matter of days. The average duration of the procedure is two to four months. Before applying to the Bank, you need to work with a broker, and this takes enough time, and only then work with the Bank begins.
Some Companies bypass this system and assure that you do not need to contact the Bank, offering you alternative methods, for example, a refund through the Central Bank. Since your Bank does not issue a chargeback, but another one allegedly returns funds in a short time.
This is false information. If you are not a client of a particular Bank, you cannot apply to it, much less submit an application.
Try to call the hotline of the Bank in which you do not have a card, the operator will ask for your full name, phone number or other information by which he will try to identify you. As soon as it turns out that you are not a client of the Bank, the dialogue will end.
Return through another broker is a common method of cheating. You may be offered to open an account with another brokerage company and withdraw funds through it. In such a situation, you will add problems to yourself by transferring money to new scammers. Be vigilant and do not communicate with those who claim that the return is quick and easy.
Company Registration Check
Check the information about the Company. Specify the registration address by TIN on the website of the tax service. Make sure that the Company really exists and functions.
Companies that don't charge up front
The return process cannot be completed in a matter of days. The average procedure time is two to four
months. Before applying to the Bank, you need to work with a broker, and this takes enough time, and only then work with the Bank begins.
1. Some Companies bypass this system and assure that you do not need to contact the Bank, offering you alternative methods, for example, a refund through the Central Bank.
2. Or through a third-party Bank, since your Bank does not issue a chargeback, but another one allegedly returns funds in a short time. This is false information. If you are not a client of a particular Bank, you cannot apply to it, let alone submit an application.
3. Try to call the hotline of the Bank in which you do not have a card, the operator will ask for your full name, phone number or other information by which he will try to identify you. As soon as it turns out that you are not a client of the Bank, the dialogue will end.
4. Return through another broker - a common method of deception. You may be offered to open an account with another brokerageth Company and withdraw funds through it. In such a situation, you add
problems by transferring money to new scammers. Be vigilant and do not communicate with those who claim that the return is quick and easy.
Personal meeting and video call
The next point is not directly related to the work process, but nevertheless it will not be superfluous. You can ask your specialist to contact you via Skype via video call or come to the office. Typically, scammers avoid video calls and face-to-face meetings so as not to show their face once again. It will not be a problem for a decent specialist to make a video call with you in order to gain your trust.
Agreement with the Company
The most important thing is the contract. Check it out carefully. Check if it includes what was explained to you during the conversation? What type of this contract: classic or offer? An offer is a contract that can enter into legal force even without your signature. Seems convenient, but...
The offer agreement gives the contractor the right to change the terms of the offer by sending you a warning about his intention. The danger lies in the fact that you may not notice this warning, and the contract will change not in your favor.
The classic contract is signed in duplicate for both parties and is valid until the conditions are met in full. It will not work to change it, because this will require a new signature, and before signing the amended contract, you will have a legal opportunity to familiarize yourself with it.
Look for pitfalls. It happens that the contract says that upon termination you will pay a penalty or, moreover, you will be required to pay additional payments for the work already done.
Check the Contractor's responsibilities. The contract should protect you, not just the Company. After all, you need legal assistance, not problems. You must be sure that by signing the contract, you protect your interests.
How to pay for services?
When you have chosen a Company and are ready to make a payment, make sure that the payment is specified in the contract and will remain unchanged. Check out the payment method. Payment must be made to the Company's current account in accordance with the agreement. Under no circumstances transfer funds to a card to an individual, QIWI, Yandex, blockchain and others.
By transferring money not to a current account in accordance with the agreement (paragraph "details of the parties"), but, for example, to a card to an individual. You are depriving yourself of the opportunity to go to court. If the Company does not fulfill the terms of the contract or disappears altogether. In addition, receiving "black" income, the Company does not pay taxes. Should I trust this law firm?
Company reviews
Remember that there are always those who applied to the company before you. Reviews of former clients play an important role, but you need to look for information on official "responders", and not on fake sites. For more confidence, watch video customer testimonials. If a person sincerely shares his own experience, you will surely understand that this is not an actor.
