Helpcheck is a legal tech company from Düsseldorf.[1][2] The company was founded in 2016 by Peer Schulz and Phil Sokowicz as a “justice-as-a-service” platform for consumer rights, providing people with access to justice, in the life insurance sector.[3][4]

Developments

The startup raised €13 million from a German family office.[5] The start-up sees new opportunities through a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the revocation of credit agreements.[6][7] Helpcheck enables consumers to obtain their legitimate claims that are denied by insurance companies.[8][9] The legal tech maintains a digital platform integrating lawyers and industry experts.[10][11]

Customers who took out life insurance between 1994 and 2007 and are dissatisfied with the return on the contract may still be able to withdraw the policy to date.[12] In addition to the contributions paid, the customer will then also receive back the interest accrued on them. The background is a 2014 ruling by the Federal Court of Justice, according to which insured persons may revoke a contract if the provider has not informed them of their right to object or has only insufficiently informed them (Az: IV ZR 76/11).[13]
