How a VCC collective action works

The VCC collectively represents the interests of affected consumers. Many lack the means to take legal action against large parties on their own. The VCC therefore bundles that strength and conducts a single legal procedure that, once successfully concluded, applies to all affected consumers.

This means you do not need to engage a lawyer yourself and bear no litigation risk. The VCC arranges this on your behalf, engages expert lawyers and provides the funding for the procedure.
