How brilliant to have someone so talented to help!
Thanks a million.”
“Hi Nick, just to say thanks so much for helping me provide Barclays with a comprehensive financial report to enable me to progress my swap claim against the bank, your patience and understanding of the issue was so important, speak soon, regards, Tony Ellerman.”
“I have no trouble in recommending Nick in advising upon quantum in cases of alleged Hedge Swap sales in breach of FCA guidelines.”
“I cannot thank Warwick Risk Management enough for their efforts. I was told by others I was a doubtful case early on but the final submission was incredible and the positive outcome speaks for itself. Nick's work was incredibly thorough and gave me indisputable evidence to submit with my case and ensure I was awarded a full tear-up with no replacement product.”
“A valued and much trusted adviser in all things related to derivatives. Don't go near the FCA IRHP review without him in your corner.”
“Nick and the team has given valuable help and advice well beyond the call of duty on the pricing and deals related to the IRSA that many SMEs had been trapped with. Very professional and thorough and with a possible 'Cap' it has something we all need in business finance.”
“I write to thank you for your help in compiling a report on the sale of interest rate swaps to us by HSBC Bank. I am in no doubt that the breakthrough in receiving redress for the missale of these complicated products was the information received in the report from Warwick Risk Management.”
“Nick has provided impeccable service and guidance. He was very professional, considerate and passionate in providing the necessary information required for my case. The evidence that he provided me with was exceptional and his knowledge in this field is second to none.”
“A huge thanks to Nick and his team. He is without doubt an expert in this field and retaining his services is essential when entering the world of IRHPs.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Nick has given us a fantastic service regarding getting more money than we expected from the bank for our IRHP's. We were apprehensive when we were first told about him by Bully Banks who we are members of, and recommended us, but overall we are very happy with the outcome. Nick has excellent knowledge in the field. If there is anyone who would like to have any personal reference regarding Mr. Stoop you are welcome to contact us. ( 0121 351 7204 KIM).”
“I was initially offered £28,000 as redress by the Bank. Thanks to the appeal statement by Nick at Warwick Risk Management I have now been offered £313,000 as redress. You do the math. Amazing. Thank you very much.”
“Thank you, Nick, for taking so much trouble with our case and for helping us to negotiate funding for litigation. We are very grateful for your support. Your understanding of the technical and practical issues has been a great help.”
“Nick is the leading derivative advisor in mis-selling claims. He is incredibly intelligent, extremely experienced and very articulate, especially when presenting complex information. I have first-hand experience of his reports resulting in increased compensation. In a recent case Nick’s contribution led to an improvement in the customer’s offer of redress by more than £2,000,000.”
“Nick is quite clearly one of the top two financial advisers in the market when it comes to this review.”
Mr Stoop's expert's report “cogently supported the proposition that an interest rate cap rather than an interest swap should have been sold” and “was instrumental in persuading AIB to make a much increased offer.”
