I wonder if anyone has any experience, good or bad, of Kerobo Claims for overturning credit card debt in respect of cards taken out before April 2007.
They have looked at 3 credit cards for me & one loan and come back saying they believe there to be several breeches with the credit card agreements. (They stated the NR Loan agreement was enforceable)
OK first step is to send a cca request off to each of the creditors to get them to supply your agrrements
this costs £1 send a postal order do not sign the letter and send it recorded , they then have 12+2 days to supply the agreement, if after this time they have not supplied the agreement thenyou send the account in dispute letter and stop paying them
if you get an agreement simply post it up on here and people will check it out for you
Hi,
I sent details of 2 pre 2007 credit cards to Kerobo and they got back to me yesterday. Apparently there are several breaches of contract relating to both cards which works in my favour but here's the rub. They want £495 per card to start proceedings!
It was at that point I thought I'd Google Kerobo and subsequently found this site. I have this morning sent off two letters with £1 postal orders to start the process myself. All unchartered waters for me but we shall see. I just thought £990 was extortion and I havn't got it anyway.
I now have 12 days to work out what to do next!
I have done exactly the same thing! Kerobo wanted £495 upfront to chase a credit card agreement with Egg. I have sent off for it myself for £1. Havent got a clue what to do when the 14 days have elapsed though!!!! Any help would be appreciated!
Don't touch this company!! I paid 800 to them in August and have heard nothing since. I have repeatedly e-mailed them and called, and they do not respond.
I have given them 14 days to give me my cash back or I will take them to the small claims court.
I do not seem to be alone in this, there are plenty of others with the same experience it would seem

I was about to go with them but am in two minds now having read these postings. One of the cards I have is a pre-2007 Egg card - did dazw1971 and tazagirl ever get a reply from them?
Unless Kerobo waive their up-front fees when they ring me this afternoon, I think I shall go the do-it-myself route. I gather I need to write to my card people requesting the Credit Card Agreement. I worry that, when I receive the CCAs, I shall flounder and not see it through, or even have no grounds to see it through...
hi everybody,this is my first time using any kind of forum/bulletin board so everything is going to be slow and painful.I contacted kerobo about 3 outstanding accounts ,they were willing to help for a fee of £300 per a/c.I had the forms completed and ready to post and decided to try and get some kind of feedback which is how i came across this site.After some research on here decided not to use kerobo and request cca,s myself.If i post cca requests before xmas will this confuse the 12+2 days time limit,would i be better leaving until the new year,also once cca,s are returned what exactley am i looking for?If anyone has any pointers they would be greatly apprieciated,very confused newbie.
My understanding is that the £300 (or £350 + 10% fee that I've been quoted) is used to instruct solicitors to fight one's case in court. Whether or not the fee covers the requesting of the CCAs, too, I don't know. Nor do I know what to do with them once I've got them...
I went to see the CAB this morning to ask their advice on Kerobo, and similar companies. Their proper financial advisor was not available (made an appointment for January) but from the look of horror on the face of the lady I spoke to when I mentioned that I was thinking of instructing Kerobo, I shall wait until I've spoken properly to someone who doesn't have a financial interest in my wellbeing before I do anything.
I paid close to £1500 stupidly for three credit cards to be cleared as promised by Kerobo in July/August and have got no where. They advised me to pay with one of my credit cads that still had some credit available as I would get it all back at the end of it all. I was told that they would give me a free survey of my pre 2007 cards to see if we would have a successful claim. This was done over the telephone and confirmation of me being able clear my depts were promised. "We would not take your claim on if we thought you wouldnt have a successful claim" they said. Now they say they didnt say anything like that.
Every time I call, I get thobbed off and I now feel ripped off and hard done by.
Where do I stand now apart from being £1500 more in debt than the first place?
