Refundee Recovers £85,000 for Woodville Investor
Published November 2, 2026Refundee has secured an £85,000 reimbursement from HSBC for a client who invested in Woodville Consultants Limited (trading as Woodville Litigation Funding). The refund was made under the Mandatory Reimbursement Model, the UK’s Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud reimbursement rules. It is separate from the administration process, which is ongoing. Every case is different and we cannot guarantee the same outcome for every investor.
Update, 11 November 2026: Refundee has since secured a second reimbursement for a Woodville investor, bringing the total recovered for Woodville clients to £219,000.
Why the MRR 13-month Deadline Mattered
Under the Mandatory Reimbursement Model, a payment must be reported to your bank within 13 months of your last payment. Claims reported after that may not qualify.
Our client didn’t know this deadline applied to their case. We explained their position, prioritised the claim and reported it to HSBC within the time limit as they were just weeks from missing this deadline. The bank reimbursed £85,000.
Many Woodville investors are still waiting on the administration and may not realise their bank claim deadline is already running. You do not need to wait for the administration to finish before claiming through your bank. You should take action quickly to avoid losing out on a technicality.
