By Richard Jasinski·Updated 4 November 2026

5 of the claims companies in the Uncompromised Travel table name a register or regulator: Bott and Co is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, ClaimFlights and RefundMore are registered under Germany's Legal Services Act.

Which flight compensation companies are licensed or regulated?

Most claims companies name no register or regulator on their websites. Bott and Co is the one regulated solicitor here; Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, ClaimFlights and RefundMore are registered debt-collection services in Germany and all four name their liability insurer.

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table holds 33 companies: the claims companies ChatGPT names most when asked about flight compensation. Their own websites were read on 20 October 2026, with their Trustpilot profiles. This page carries the claims companies in the table whose own website names a register, licence or regulator it is listed with, with its number where it gives one, in words that can be shown here: 5 companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. Fees are shown as each company publishes them, with their conditions. No company paid to be on this page.

Licensed or regulated: the questions people ask

Is a German RDG registration a licence?

It is a registration under the German Legal Services Act for debt collection, with a register number and a supervising court or office, as each card shows.

Which company is regulated in the UK?

Bott and Co, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA Number 605593).

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

5 of the 5: Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT and RefundMore. Each card shows the rating, the number of reviews and the newest review date, read on the day shown.

Do these companies charge a fee if they win?

ClaimFlights, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT and RefundMore publish a fee figure on their own websites. Each card gives the fee as the company states it, with its conditions, such as VAT or a separate court fee. For Bott and Co, no fee figure was found on its website or its fee page would not open; ask before you sign.

Can I claim without a claims company?

Yes. You can claim from the airline directly and for free; in the UK or EU you can go on to the national enforcement body or an approved dispute scheme if the airline refuses. A claims company takes a share of the compensation for doing that work for you.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, under Sources, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is a claims company in the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table and its own website names a register, licence or regulator it is listed with, with its number where it gives one. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be listed.

Built to answer the question in the main heading. What is shown: what each claims company published on its own website, read on 20 October 2026, with its Trustpilot rating where the profile carries the company's own name, from the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table. Left out: companies whose websites would not open, a company whose activities were taken over by another, a company whose address opens another company's site and services that pass the claim to other companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel. How this site earns · How we work.
