Is this right for you?

Be honest with yourself

Claim Buddy is a good fit if you:

  • Want to keep 100% of your refund
  • Are willing to spend some time on the process (not zero effort)
  • Want clear guidance, not just a blog post
  • Are comfortable sending emails and following instructions

It's probably not for you if:

  • You want someone else to handle everything (consider a solicitor)
  • You're very confident researching legal processes yourself (you might not need us)
