CARTEL CLIENT REVIEW LTD
Due to the high volume of enquiries we have received about the status of Cartel Client Review Ltd’s (CCR) authorisation with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) we are making the following statement which responds and provides advice to assist customers of CCR.
The MoJ regulates claims management companies by enforcing the Compensation Act 2006 and underlying legislation. Enforcement action is taken against businesses which fail to comply with the conduct rules. A range of informal and formal actions are available including warnings, undertakings and ultimately the suspension or cancellation of a business’s authorisation to trade in claims services. Removing a business’s authorisation is a serious matter which can only be taken after careful consideration of all the evidence and the consequences for clients of such action.
MoJ has already confirmed publicly that we have been investigating CCR. As a result of this investigation, we have suspended the authorisation of Cartel Client Review Ltd, with effect from today 18 March 2010.
This means that CCR will no longer be able to carry out any claims management services. As with any suspended business, the MoJ will be monitoring the situation and considering next steps that may be appropriate.
If you are a customer of CCR your agreement with them, as with any provider, is a private contractual matter between yourself and the provider in which MoJ cannot intervene directly because it is not a regulatory matter for which MoJ has responsibility. Further information which might assist consumers can be found here.
Consumer Credit Litigation Solicitors provided legal services for clients of CCR but were recently closed down by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The SRA have an information page about that closure on their website.
CONSUMER UPDATE: Factsheets issued
The Claims Management Regulator publishes the first set of factsheets aimed at clients of claims management businesses. The Factsheets seek to provide practical advice to consumers of claims management services where the business they have instructed is not providing the service as expected, if their authorisation has been suspended or cancelled or if you have instructed a business that claims it can have your debt transferred to them. These factsheets are now all available on the For Consumers page of the website, and further factsheets will be made available shortly.
The MOJ has a helpline offering advice to concerned former clients of Cartel on 0845 4506858.

A NOTE FROM LEGAL BEAGLES
Please be very wary of any offers from other Claims Management Companies offering a 'rescue' package or to take over your claims from Cartel. ALWAYS do thorough research and ask other people for their opinions/advice on the way forwards.
We are reviewing the contracts with CARTEL CLIENT REVIEW and are aware of the difficulties experienced in obtaining a refund through the 'recommended' route of a Section 75 claim from your Card Provider.
Keep an eye in the CLAIMS MANAGEMENT FORUM for updates and advice.
