Have you had a Secured Loan between 2000 and 2009 or Mortgage before 2004?

When a “No Win, No Fee” service is provided, customers generally pay 30% + VAT (36% including VAT). This arrangement eliminates the financial risk of making a claim—you won’t pay anything if your case is unsuccessful. There are no upfront fees or hidden costs, ensuring you won’t be out of pocket. A cancellation fee may apply if you cancel after the cooling-off period.

Undisclosed Commissions – Are You Owed Compensation?

Before 2009, many secured loans and mortgages were arranged through brokers who received hidden commissions from lenders. These payments were not disclosed to borrowers, meaning they unknowingly paid more than necessary.
If you:

  • Took out a second charge secured loan between 2000 and 2009, or
  • Had a first charge mortgage before 31st October 2004,

You may be entitled to claim back these undisclosed commissions, plus interest.
Lenders often paid brokers’ commissions of 10% or more, on top of any fees you agreed to. These hidden payments created a conflict of interest and could have led to unfair loan terms. Due to changes in the law, these commissions must now be repaid to affected borrowers. Check if you qualify today and start your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to make an undisclosed commission (UDC) claim?

If you took out a second-charge secured loan between 2000 and 2009 or a first-charge mortgage before 31 October 2004, and used a broker, you may be eligible. Especially if you were not informed that the broker received commission from the lender, you could have a valid claim.

What is an “undisclosed commission”?

An undisclosed commission is a payment made by the lender to your broker without your knowledge. These commissions were often hidden and meant the broker was incentivised to recommend products that may not have been in your best interest. This is considered a breach of duty under UK law.

Why weren’t these commissions disclosed to borrowers?

During the 1990s and 2000s, many lenders paid brokers secret commissions to secure more loan business. These were not disclosed to borrowers at the time and were often buried in backend agreements between the lender and the broker.

Why is a hidden commission such a problem legally?

A hidden commission creates a conflict of interest. Brokers are supposed to act in your best interests, but if they’re being paid secretly by a lender, they’re more likely to recommend that lender — not necessarily the best product for you. Courts have ruled this as improper conduct, giving you the right to claim compensation.

How much compensation could I receive for a successful claim?

A hidden commission creates a conflict of interest. Brokers are supposed to act in your best interests, but if they’re being paid secretly by a lender, they’re more likely to recommend that lender — not necessarily the best product for you. Courts have ruled this as improper conduct, giving you the right to claim compensation.

How do I start a claim, and what happens after I sign up?

You simply complete our online form, upload your ID, and sign a digital Letter of Authority (LOA). We then: – Request your loan documents from the lender via a DSAR; – Compile your claim pack; – Send your case to our legal partner (E-Chambers-Direct Ltd) for processing.

Do I need to pay any fees, or is it truly “no win, no fee”?

You pay nothing at any stage to Tyler Media. If your claim is successful, E-Chambers-Direct Ltd will deduct 28% from your final settlement as their success fee. They also reimburse us for our work. If your claim fails, you pay nothing.

Who will actually handle my claim – Tyler Media or someone else?

Tyler Media collects your information and helps prepare your case. Once your DSAR is received, your claim is processed entirely by E-Chambers-Direct Ltd, our regulated legal partner. They handle all legal steps and negotiations.

How long does a UDC claim take to resolve?

Claims typically take between 6 to 12 months, depending on lender response times. Some may resolve sooner, while more complex cases could take longer.

Will I need to go to court or handle a lot of paperwork?

No. Most claims are settled out of court. You only need to upload ID, sign your LOA, and provide any loan documents you already have. We handle the rest.

Can I claim if I paid off my loan years ago?

Yes. Even if your loan was paid off many years ago, you may still have a claim — especially if the commission was never disclosed to you.

Is it too late to claim after so many years?

Not necessarily. Courts have ruled that the time limit (limitation period) can start from when you first became aware of the commission, not from when the loan was taken. We assess this on a case-by-case basis.

What if I don’t have my loan documents anymore?

That’s fine. We’ll submit a DSAR to your lender to retrieve the relevant documents on your behalf.

Will making a claim affect my credit score or current mortgage?

No. Making a claim will not impact your credit file, and you are not taking out new credit or amending your current mortgage.

What if my broker or lender has gone out of business?

You may still be able to claim. In many cases, responsibility passes to the financial institution that bought or manages the original lender’s loan book.

How is my personal information used and protected?

We fully comply with the UK GDPR. Your data is stored securely in the UK, never shared without consent, and is only used to assess and process your claim.
