Breach of Contract and Unfair Fee Demands
I am extremely disappointed with the practices of Debitura and their local partner in China (Sun Jin from Ningbo Esteem). They advertise a strict "No Win, No Pay" and "No Upfront Fee" policy, but my experience was completely different.
My case involved a debtor in China (MrDongcan). The local lawyer got the debtor to agree to pay 3,000 RMB, but then negotiations broke down and no money was ever recovered. Despite recovering zero money for me, the Chinese lawyer Sun Jin demanded a non-refundable fee of 15,000 RMB from me to proceed.
When I questioned this clear breach of contract, they used high-pressure tactics and threatened to close my case immediately. Robin Tam (Head of Partnerships) was notified via 5 consecutive emails but has remained completely silent, refusing to resolve the issue.
This matches the negative experience shared by another reviewer, Saif Ali, on Jan 21, 2026. I have all the screenshot evidence of their 15,000 RMB fee demands and will be reporting this matter to the All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) and European Consumer Authorities. Avoid this service
UPDATE (July 9, 2026): Debituraâs reply is a complete lie to save their reputation.They are trying to mislead the public by calling the 15,000 RMB fee an 'optional, separate engagement.'Let the facts speak: Your Chinese lawyer, Sun Jin, used this massive 15,000 RMB upfront fee as a strict, high-pressure ultimatum. I was told that if I did not pay this fee, my case would be closed immediately. That is NOT an 'option'âthat is extortion and a direct violation of your advertised 'No Win, No Pay' and 'No Upfront Cost' guarantee!Furthermore, Robin Tam (Head of Partnerships) ignored 5 consecutive emails detailing this malpractice, only responding AFTER I published this review. This proves Debitura's 'oversight' is a total sham. They do not protect victims; they protect their rogue partners.I have all the screenshot evidence of the 15,000 RMB demands and your team's silence. This full dossier is now being submitted directly to the All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) and European Consumer Authorities.Prospective clients, BEWARE: Their 'No Win, No Pay' is a trap to lure you in, before hitting you with hidden, massive fees later!
