Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

I am an executor, selling my mother's home. I found the assistance I received from Lawhive first rate - empathetic, professional and efficient.

We used Lawhive for our conveyancing needs and our solicitor was very helpful, patient and informative. She helped us with our needs with prompt responses and provided a very efficient service.
Kelvin
Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

01 overview
If you've been mis-sold a loan or taken one out and then been hit with additional hidden charges you didn't agree to, the agreement may not be legally enforceable.
At Lawhive, our network of experienced litigation lawyers can help you understand and enforce your rights under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

A loan dispute arises when borrowers and lenders disagree on the terms of a loan agreement or how it's being handled.
Loan disputes can arise for many reasons, such as:
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 offers significant protections for borrowers. It applies to hire purchase agreements, running credit arrangements (like credit cards), and loans up to £25,000. If a lender breaches the Act, the debt may be unenforceable. This means they can't legally force you to repay the loan.
A loan can be unenforceable if:
Disputes can arise with various types of loans, including:
If your loan was mis-sold, you might be entitled to compensation or have the debt declared unenforceable. Mis-selling can include being given incorrect information about the loan, not being told about important terms, or being sold unnecessary financial products like PPI.
In the UK, verbal agreements can be just as valid as written ones, providing they include all the elements of a legally binding contract.
Informal or verbal loan agreements can be disputed. However, it's always best to have a written contract to avoid misunderstandings.
Start by reviewing your loan agreement and gathering any relevant documents. Then, try to communicate with the lender to resolve the issue. Sometimes a simple conversation can resolve the situation.
If that doesn't work, consider seeking legal advice. A solicitor can help determine if the debt is enforceable and advise on the best course of action.
While you can handle some aspects of a consumer credit dispute yourself, having a solicitor can be very helpful, especially for complex issues.
A solicitor can provide expert advice, help you understand your rights, and represent you in negotiations or court if necessary.
A litigation solicitor can help by:
