The Easy Direct Finance recovery process — what we do for you
- Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
- Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from Easy Direct Finance. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
- We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Action Fraud — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Easy Direct Finance follows a pattern our recovery team sees every week: unregulated brokers targeting retail investors with polished websites, hard-sell account managers, and platform interfaces designed to make deposits easy and withdrawals impossible. The FCA added it to their public warning list because they identified specific breaches of local securities law.
Red flags to recognize
- Aggressive sales tactics: told you the opportunity closes today
- Provided a "personal account manager" who chats daily to build trust
- Encouraged you to hide the investment from family or bank staff
- Bank flagged the payment as suspicious but the broker urged you to override
- Testimonials on their website use stock photos (reverse-image search reveals stolen identities)
Recovery timeline for this case type
Time-to-recovery for Easy Direct Finance victims varies by the payment method used and bank cooperation. Card payments and SEPA transfers under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 have a mandatory 8-week response window. Crypto transfers require blockchain forensics — add 2-3 weeks. Cash-app style transfers depend on the platform. Escalation to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) adds 90-120 days on average. Our team drives the process forward at every stage.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still recover from Easy Direct Finance if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 do not have a strict recovery deadline — the older the case, the more evidence work needed. We take cases from 3 months to 3 years old regularly.
What if I sent Easy Direct Finance crypto instead of a bank transfer?
Crypto recovery is harder but not impossible. We use blockchain forensics (Chainalysis, TRM Labs) to trace funds to regulated exchanges, then submit legal freeze requests. 30% of cases end up at a regulated exchange where recovery is possible.
Can I recover funds from Easy Direct Finance if my bank already refused?
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
