----------------------------------

 

 

IBAS support and involvement is essential immediately the Bank Demand has been received by the customer

 

This is because IBAS early involvement may prevent Bank Litigation and the Bank's legal claim progressing - IBAS protects bank customers from the bank's often hostile intentions and actions.

 

----------------------------------

 

 

There is no other non - profit UK organization providing independent and specialist individual business banking advice and specific assistance to members.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

It is a fact that all banks spend considerable time and effort 'drafting' their Final response letter to the customer because they know that their Final Response letter is designed to persuade the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) to the Bank's position.

 

Bank Final response letters are drafted and written by legally trained bank staff who are also communicating with the FOS daily and they are completely aware of FOS decision making - on a daily basis.

 

Banks possess very distinct advantages over their customers. Those advantages include legal knowledge, experience of ‘complaint casework’ and knowing what is effective (for the bank).

 

IBAS will carry out fully independent investigations of business bank accounts based on relevant customer complaint.

 

IBAS will provide tactical guidance and advise you on your 'case'

 

IBAS will use historical banking account errors/bank charging mistakes and bank overcharging claims evidenced by IBAS account investigations and calculations to enable effective current business banking account complaint progression.

 

IBAS has been calculating business bank account and overcharging complaints since the mid 1990's

 

IBAS account investigations will enhance the customer's complaint with substance and evidence bank errors to the customers advantage.

 

IBAS will provide business banking customers with essential expertise which is required for a successful business banking complaint.

 

Changes to regulation and the bank regulators from Bank of England - FSA - FCA and historic voluntary codes of conduct - IBAS have been around for all of those regulatory changes. We have recorded the changes as they occurred for our own records and IBAS use in business banking case work. In some cases that specific knowledge has been the vital cog in the wheel of a very good resolution.

 

IBAS is a professional, confidential guidance and direct assistance organisation providing UK Businesses with business banking account problems and disputes assistance and IBAS is an organisation which can help you with bank litigation.

 

IBAS provides good specialist advice and resolution and when IBAS is involved immediately after bank demand for payment, we aim to obtain all information which we know is necessary to assess legal arguments against existing case law.

 

As a Director, Partner or Proprietor with a UK business banking dispute or business banking debt claim you may have already received 'conflicted' advice, maybe from the bank, your accountant, Insolvency professionals or solicitors.

 

IBAS will know from many years experience how best your dispute may be 'handled' and we offer value for money services. IBAS experience with audits on bank interest overcharging has meant many bank debt claims have been considerably reduced or dropped once we have concluded our investigations.

 

IBAS lay the groundwork for successful defences - by first preserving defences which exist

 

and yes, we have been involved in cases which have been won by our members in the County Court, High Court and the Court of Appeal.

 

ILA (independent legal advice) Confirmation Certificates may not be what they first appear - as banks are required to provide truthful information for ILA to be properly obtained - IBAS has found that careful investigation can find an ILA Certificate to be unreliable.

 

Waiver of ILA (independent legal advice) - bank customers signing a waiver of ILA provides the bank with confirmation that the customer has been offered ILA but has refused ILA (by the customer signing the waiver).

 

Banks and lenders use the signed ILA waiver document as evidence of their security position and in order to eliminate many of the misrepresentations claimed by bank customers. Again, the waiver may not be what it seems - IBAS investigations have provided evidence to discount dubious ILA waivers.

 

We could not recommend strongly enough to anyone struggling with the overzealous banks how helpful IBAS have been.

When we consider how the bank treated us when we hadn’t done anything wrong, never missed a payment and had good loan to value rates, I can only surmise how aggressive they must be to others.

Once again many thanks for the help IBAS have given us both over the past two years. In the nicest way we hope never to require your services again! "- GL

 

Many solicitors and barristers have approached IBAS for assistance since 1992 - with many clients claiming the bank had acted dishonestly, incorrectly or very badly to the detriment of the customer - often factual information was lacking and IBAS business banking investigations were then required to provide facts and the precise calculations to prove the facts.

 

Example One: Home possession case: The bank sought possession on the basis of an amount they claimed was owed to the bank after demand on a personal guarantee debt which was supported by a bank mortgage over her home. However, the customer believed the debt was inflated by bank overcharging.

The barrister sought the facts to undermine the bank case for possession. IBAS carried out calculations requested by the barrister to establish the charging for the previous six years based on the banking facilities provided by the bank. IBAS investigation of the 6 years of business bank statements and facilities up to the bank demand showed no evidence of overcharging.

However, our team perceived anomalies just prior to the six year period and we requested the instruction to proceed further.

Our further investigation beyond the six years proved that the bank had been overcharging interest on balances and that the bank had inflated the balances shown by previous overcharging.

Therefore, the debt claimed by the bank was totally incorrect and there was a substantial defence to the bank debt claim

Conclusion: The overcharge and the defence to the bank claim would have remained concealed without IBAS investigations - which provided the evidence for the barrister to counter the bank claim for possession.

Example Two: Mrs H was deceived by her husband who borrowed funds against their home - the bank attempted to enforce against the wife for the secured debts on their home because of the husbands business debts. Mrs H was introduced to a solicitor by CAB but he proved to be unable to protect her position and his competence was questionable. IBAS investigation of Mrs Hs position led us to conclude that her case was much stronger than her solicitor had attempted to put forward and her solicitor appeared to be accepting the bank position much too easily. Our conclusion was that she required much better representation and we offered our assistance. The case was eventually heard in the Supreme Court and Mrs H then won her case on appeal.

 

Conclusion: IBAS knowledge, input and guidance was instrumental in this case reaching a successful conclusion in the Appeal Court.
