🧾 Plain-English Who We Are Summary - We're an established UK Registered company specialising in helping individuals and organisations to remove damaging or unwanted online content.


Communications:

Emails sent to casework(at)interneterasure(dot)co(dot)uk are typically replied to within 30 - 180 minutes during weekdays from 8am - 5:30pm. Emails sent outside of these hours are considered to have been received the following morning. Important emails, especially those containing multiple links or large files, may be sent twice to ensure safe delivery. If you have sent us an email but have not received a reply within 24hrs, please check your junk / spam folder and contact us by another method.

Emails marked OFFICIAL or OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE (typically from police, probation, CPS or other approved organisations operating in the Criminal Justice Sector), must be sent by Criminal Justice Secure Mail (CJSM) to our Senior Caseworker whose CJSM is available upon request.

WhatsApp messages to 07565 130 116 are typically replied to within 5 - 60 minutes during weekdays 8am - 8pm. WhatsApp messages sent outside of these hours are considered to have been received the following morning.

Telephone calls to (+44) 020 3576 0356, made on weekdays between 8am - 8pm, are personally answered by our receptionists who will note caller details and a brief subject overview. A mutually convenient time for a full telephone call with the most suitable caseworker (e.g. criminal justice, professional misconduct, harassment, MHFA accredited, technical support, general GDPR, or an existing assigned personal caseworker) is then arranged by WhatsApp or email.

Communications in the Evening, Weekend and at Bank Holidays are responded to the next working morning.

Due to our criminal justice and harassment work, we do not accept telephone calls from withheld numbers or from people who are currently service a prison sentence. As a family firm we do not generally offer an emergency service, engage in highly pressurised circumstances, or accept urgent or short-term cases. Telephone calls and conferences are usually booked in advance and workflow is scheduled. Work does however start on all new cases within 48hrs of instruction. If you are not yet a client of our firm, we reserve the right to suspend communications at any time if we have concerns regarding identity, authority, or for any other reason we deem appropriate.

Communications and data which may include sensitive personal data in the form of client notes, evidence and communications, is processed, retained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

📞 Plain-English Communication Summary
  • We are fast and responsive however you wish to contact us. 
  • WhatsApp or web chat (bottom right of screen) is the quickest way to contact us.


Payments:

Quoted fees are payable in full on instruction.

The payment process forms part of our ID verification, anti-fraud and Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Client (KYC) checks.

We welcome all types of credit and debit cards online (not by telephone) in any currency and these are processed by our payment processor which is PayPal.

We do not accept untraceable payments; for clarity, this means that we do not accept cash and you cannot pay us with assets of any description or with cryptocurrencies of any kind.

We accept UK bank transfers, with our client's full name as reference, to Internet Erasure Ltd, Sort Code 60 83 71, Account Number 53292077.

We accept international bank transfers to IBAN: GB88SRLG60837153292077, SWIFT: SRLGGB2L, Bank Address: Starling Bank Operations Team, 5th Floor Brunel House, 2 Fitzalan Road, Cardiff, Wales. CF24 0FG. Company Address: Internet Erasure Ltd, Suite 5, 5th Floor City Reach, 5 Greenwich View Place. London. E14 9NN.

 
Payment Terms and Flexible Arrangements:

We may offer monthly payment terms in the form of an instalment credit agreement that qualifies for exemption from FCA regulation.

This is because:

  • No interest or additional charges are applied,
  • Repayment is made in no more than 12 instalments over no more than 12 months, and
  • It applies to a specific service for a fixed fee.

Credit checks are not carried out. Clients are expected to ensure that any instalment plan is affordable for the full term. Work may be paused if payments are not made as agreed. These terms are discretionary, assessed on a case-by-case basis, and only established with a client’s prior agreement.

In complex matters involving hundreds of URLs across multiple subject areas, we may offer a hybrid success-fee model. This involves an initial fee (reflecting the scale and complexity of the case) followed by a success fee once pre-agreed benchmarks are achieved. As above, work may pause if fees are not met. This model is also discretionary and agreed with the client in advance.

For certain experimental or developmental matters, we may work on a No-Win / No-Fee basis (Conditional Fee Agreement). This may be offered where outcomes cannot be guaranteed or where we are improving internal processes or legal precedents. These arrangements are rare, depend on capacity, and are only offered with a client’s informed agreement.

We may also undertake informal work on a Quantum Meruit basis - where services not covered by the original agreement are provided with a reasonable expectation of payment based on benefit to the client. This may occur alongside existing instructions, depending on workflow capacity and mutual trust, and are only offered with a client’s informed agreement.

In a small number of exceptional cases, we may offer to work pro bono (without charge). This is strictly reserved for situations involving clear evidence of injustice and extreme hardship, and is only considered where our resources allow.

Legal Aid, or Public Funding is not available for the services we provide.

We accept payment directly from insurance companies and any regulated legal or accountancy firms on behalf of clients, where the scope of work and fees are agreed in advance of formal instruction.

🧾 Plain-English Payment Summary
  • You usually pay in full at the start.
  • In some cases, we may offer monthly payments with no interest or credit checks.
  • Large cases might be split into an upfront fee plus a success fee later.
  • In very rare cases, we may work for free, or only get paid if we succeed.
  • We may also carry out additional tasks not covered by the contract, if we both agree.

The offer and delivery of CPD to any firm is based on workflow limits and is at our sole discretion.
