Victim of phishing or bank-helpdesk fraud? Demand your money back
We draft a reasoned refund-demand letter (BW 7:527-7:529, NVB goodwill framework for bank-helpdesk fraud, PSD2). Banks must in principle refund unauthorised transactions; whether that applies in your case depends on the circumstances.
Fill in your situation
The letter text is free; you only pay if you want the formatted PDF. It is a filled-in template: general information, not legal or tax advice — no rights can be derived from it. You check the letter and send it yourself.
