A wave of claims firms borrowed against a payout that has not arrived. We defend the funder's position.

OCC Portfolio Defence is a specialist workout desk for litigation funders. We assess a distressed borrowing claims firm, re price its book, and set out the routes that protect your security, before the position crystallises.

Powered by OCC's Claims Passport Platform. In partnership with licensed insolvency practitioners.

The market event

Funded on a payout that has not arrived

Funding was advanced to claims firms on the expectation that PCP and motor finance redress would pay quickly. It has not. The redress programme is delayed and subject to live legal challenge, and its timing and final shape are not certain. The result is a cohort of borrowing claims firms approaching distress at the same time.

The thesis

Fast payout

Facilities were sized on the assumption that redress would settle quickly and service the loan.

The reality

Delayed and contested

The route is delayed and under live legal challenge. Its timing and final shape are not yet certain.

The consequence

Synchronised distress

Many borrowers run low on runway together. A market event, not a set of isolated cases.

02
Your exposure

What it means for your security

If you hold security over a stalling claims firm, the exposure is concentrated: a book that cannot be worked, an operator running out of runway, and a recovery that rests on one contested outcome.

Risk 01

Stranded book

Security over a book the borrower can no longer economically work.

Risk 02

Failing operator

The firm runs out of runway before the payout it was built on arrives.

Risk 03

Single route dependency

Recovery depends on one redress outcome that is itself contested.

The desk

A specialist workout desk

OCC Portfolio Defence is the funder's instrument, strictly B2B, never acting for the borrower or the consumer. It combines decades of insolvency and claims experience with the OCC platform. Formal insolvency steps are taken in partnership with licensed insolvency practitioners.

The team

Decades of insolvency and claims expertise

The desk pairs long standing insolvency and business recovery experience with deep claims, data, and platform capability across the OCC group. The funder stays the decision maker throughout.

The assessment

We assess before we recommend

Before any recommendation, the desk assesses the position fully and re prices the book from the bottom up, so the funder is choosing on real numbers.

1

Corporate and book review

A full review of the firm, the facility, the security, and the book while the position can still be saved.

2

True revaluation

The ClaimPassport scan re prices the book at claim level against current carrying value.

3

Lawful basis and consent

Contactability, consent, and lawful basis checked before any plan is put forward.

4

Costed recommendation

A costed recommendation across the three routes, for the funder to choose.

05
The three routes

Three routes. You choose.

The desk does not force a rescue. It prices every route and the funder decides which protects the position best.

Route 01

Fund the rescue

Implement the 12 in 12 platform structure. The book becomes a diversified, processed, multi claim position that services the facility.

Route 02

Restructure the book

Upgrade with ClaimPassports, extract, audit and revalue, then inject into a new or restructured entity. The value stays portable.

Route 03

Run off and exit

An orderly wind down with value extracted first. A clean exit, not a write off.

06
Why funding wins

Why funding usually beats writing off

A stranded book returns close to zero. Funded through the platform, it generates diversified, phased recovery across twelve months. The full model, the live calculator, and the figures sit in ClaimWatch for Funders.
