A Successful Outcome

It took just under a year to get a successful outcome on my claim with CEL. I knew it was not going to be a quick process but I was able to put the process in the hands of a professional who knew what he was doing. Thomas Mellish did an amazing job for me and pushed back a few times with the Ombudsman regarding my claim. After being scammed out of a large amount of money CEL assisted in getting me my full refund as the Ombudsman had agreed with the bank to pay me back, something I never thought was achievable.
