What does it cost to join the Virgin Media data breach action?

A common question from people who want to be a part of the Virgin Media data breach compensation action is this: what is the cost to join?

The short answer is that there are no upfront costs for joining the action, and we’re not in the habit of asking for legal fees to be paid by you during the course of the case either. All we ask in return is that you comply with the reasonable terms of the agreement in place.

As a leading firm of consumer action and data breach compensation specialists, it’s our mission to make sure that victims of a breach have a voice. This is why we work in the way that we do.

No upfront cost to join

We do not ask for you to pay a cost to join the Virgin Media data breach compensation action. We’re huge believers in access to justice which is why we work in this way.

If we win, some legal fees can be recovered from the opponent. Fees that can’t be recovered from the opponent can be covered from the percentage deduction which forms a part of the agreement for starting the case.

We appreciate that most people wouldn’t be able to afford to pay upfront fees which is why we don’t ask for them for eligible cases. This is the way we’ve worked for many years in over 50 different group and multi-party actions, as well as for individual cases too. We can do this because we only take an action and cases forward where we believe we have a good enough chance of succeeding with the case.

No Win, No Fee

As well as us asking you not to pay any upfront cost to join the action, we also work on a No Win, No Fee basis too.

In summary, this means that we can write off our legal fees if the case doesn’t succeed. All we ask in return is that you comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

We can work this way if we feel there’s a good enough chance of succeeding with a legal case. There have been some cases in actions in the past where we couldn’t win them and we have proudly honoured our No Win, No Fee promises. Sometimes, the opponent has a legitimate legal defence to a claim, and some opponents have gone into liquidation and not been insured.

We cannot know for certain if an action will win or not right at the start, so there’s a huge risk when we take claims forward. This is especially the case when we’re representing thousands or tens of thousands of people in a single action.
