Claim Without Risk: The Truth About No Win No Fee

When you’ve been mis-sold a financial product or unfairly treated by a lender, the idea of paying legal fees upfront can feel impossible. That’s why many people turn to No Win No Fee solicitors, a funding option designed to make justice accessible without financial risk.

At Consumer Rights Solicitors (CRS), we specialise in helping clients claim compensation under this model, from motor finance claims to PPI commission disputes. Here’s how it works, what it costs, and why it might be the right choice for you.

What Does "No Win No Fee" Actually Mean?

The formal name is a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). Under this arrangement, you don’t pay your solicitor upfront. Instead, their payment depends entirely on winning your case.

  • If you win ; Your solicitor takes a pre-agreed success fee (usually up to 25% of your compensation).

  • If you lose ; You pay nothing to your solicitor.

This model removes the financial gamble of starting a claim, giving more people fair access to justice.

How Do Solicitors Get Paid?

Your solicitor’s success fee comes out of the compensation you win. The percentage is agreed in advance, so there are no hidden surprises.

Most claims also include After The Event (ATE) insurance, which covers legal costs like court fees or expert reports. If your claim fails, this insurance ensures you’re not left out of pocket.

The CRS 5-Step Process

Here’s how a No Win No Fee claim with CRS typically works:

  1. Free Claim Check :  A no-obligation consultation to see if your case has merit.

  2. CFA Agreement : Clear terms, transparent fees, no hidden charges.

  3. Evidence Gathering : CRS handles the legal complexities and documents.

  4. Negotiation or Court : Most cases settle, but CRS will fight for you if it goes to court.

  5. Payout : Compensation awarded, minus the agreed success fee. If the claim fails, you pay nothing.

What If You Lose?

With CRS, if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe solicitor fees. Thanks to ATE insurance, you’re also protected from additional legal costs. In other words: no win, no fee.

What Types of Claims Qualify?

CRS offers No Win No Fee services across multiple consumer claims, including:

If you’re unsure whether your case qualifies, CRS provides a free eligibility check to explain your options clearly.

How Long Does a No Win No Fee Case Take?

Most consumer claims take 3 to 12 months to resolve, depending on complexity and whether court proceedings are needed. CRS provides regular updates so you always know where your case stands.

Car Finance After the Supreme Court Ruling: What Borrowers Should Know

Image
  The Supreme Court’s August 2025 judgment clarified how commission in motor finance agreements should be treated under the law. For borrowers, the outcome is more nuanced than many headlines suggested. 1. What the Supreme Court Decided The Court confirmed that a discretionary commission arrangement (DCA) does not automatically create an “unfair relationship” under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. It also made clear that dealers are commercial intermediaries, not fiduciaries, and that disclosure of the possibility of commission can defeat claims of secrecy. Importantly, unfairness now requires additional aggravating factors, such as very high commissions or inadequate disclosure. In practical terms, this narrowed certain court-based claims. 2. What Changed After the Judgment Shortly after the ruling, the Financial Conduct Authority announced plans for a consumer redress scheme targeting undisclosed or excessive commission. Consultation Paper CP25/27 proposes an industry-wide sche...

What a past PPI rejection does and doesn’t rule out today

Image
  If your PPI complaint was rejected years ago, it is easy to assume the matter is closed permanently. In practice, a rejection answers one specific question: did the complaint meet the regulatory tests that applied at the time it was assessed? It does not automatically answer every possible question about fairness. What a past rejection does mean A rejection usually means: The firm applied FCA complaint-handling rules and concluded that the complaint did not meet the threshold for redress at that time  The complaint may have been considered out of time, particularly after the 29 August 2019 deadline  There may have been insufficient evidence about how the policy was sold  The firm concluded that mis-selling tests were not met under the rules then in force  In short, it reflects a regulatory judgment made within a defined framework. What a past rejection doesn’t necessarily rule out It does not automatically rule out: That the complaint was assessed under narr...

PPI and Plevin Claims Explained for UK Consumers

Image
  If you are researching Payment Protection Insurance compensation, you have probably seen references to both standard PPI claims and Plevin claims . While they are related, they are not the same. Understanding the difference is essential, especially if your original complaint was rejected or you believe you missed the 2019 deadline. This guide explains both routes clearly and outlines what may still be possible in 2025. What Was the Original PPI Scandal? Payment Protection Insurance was designed to help borrowers cover repayments if they became ill, unemployed, or unable to work. However, it was widely added to loans, credit cards, and mortgages without proper explanation or suitability checks . By 2019, banks had paid over £38 billion in compensation for mis-sold PPI . The Financial Conduct Authority introduced a deadline of 29 August 2019 for traditional mis-selling claims. Many consumers assumed that once this deadline passed, all PPI matters were closed. They were not....
