I was a bit concerned it could be a scam

I was a bit concerned it could be a scam, but when I voiced my concerns by email I asked if I could have a cheque for my claim, they replied and sent me a link to my bank, entered details five days later my claim was paid into my account. After being concerned it was great service.

Milburg/Shieldpay Emmissions

Despite the positive reviews, I believe the Milburg/Shieldpay VW Emissions payment to be a scam. I am not confrontable accessing my Bank via the Shieldpay Link. I have tried to contact both companies to no avail. everything seems professional - however Scams are now much more elaborate. Unless i can contact someone - i'm convinced its a scam

Poor Customer Service - Lack of communication - slow funds release

Sold shares in a business. Shieldpay given distribution list for Funds on Friday. Funds received by Shieldpay Monday am with instructions for same day payment transfer. Smallest amounts immediately transferred. Several phone calls on Tuesday requesting updates on payments with no concrete confirmation. 3 larger amounts eventually transferred late Tuesday. Final transfer not completed until late Wednesday despite telephone calls asking reason for non payment. Below is response from Shieldpay which is a company i would never use again nor recommend.
The release notice did not reflect our standard structure which equated to a human error, once we established this error we acted safely and quickly to rectify, and sent the payments same day, unfortunately one of these payments was then held for further checks by our new banking partner which caused further delays.

The team have established a comprehensive list of actions to undertake, to mitigate reoccurrence, which I have shared below for transparency:
• Organise further training internally on release notices, along with the aim of establishing a standard format with SPB.
• Update the Customer Service Manual (currently in draft) to set our customers expectations on the format of release notices.
• Enhance our payment checklist.
• Submit change/new feature request to technology to enable a payment instruction to be automatically created based on the agreement in contract.”

Hi Wil,

Thank you for leaving a review on Trustpilot.

We are sorry you feel Shieldpay has fallen short of providing high standards of customer service. As we have stated in our recent correspondence with your law firm (as shared in your review), we have taken the feedback from this transaction onboard and have already implemented improvements to our processes.

If you want any further clarity on our procedures, the steps we are taking to mitigate future errors, or want to discuss anything else with the team, our customer service team can provide further information.

Thanks,
The Shieldpay Team

VW emmisons

I was a little dubious in the beginning handing over my bank details, but within 3 weeks the money was paid into my bank account. Very good experience 👍

Experience with Shieldpay

Once I had convinced my self this was not a scam! The payment went through seamlessly, smoothly and quickly.

Remember electronic payments have the potential to be defrauded so remember your due diligence on a transaction by transaction basis! Please make these checks in person to avoid those who would defraud you!

I was sceptical but this is not a scam and this company is amazing at its job they done everything I literally gave them nothing to go on but still got a pay out so if they ask to link to your bank it’s legit if your sceptical don’t be as your bank will have measures if they think it’s fraud but believe me it’s not great work shield pay

It’s legit!!!

I was skeptical after receiving emails from Shieldpay regarding my Milberg compensation payment for the VW emission scandal - so I did my research and all looked okay. I received my payment today - just over £1200. I emailed the support team and they were very helpful! It’s legit!
