Evidence
Evaluating a recovery outcome: what counts as evidence?
A report, a freeze, a judgment and returned funds are not the same result.

The short answer
Recovery marketing can blur the difference between work completed and money returned. A tracing report documents analysis. A complaint acknowledgement confirms receipt. An account restriction may preserve assets. A judgment determines issues within its scope. None should be presented as a completed repayment unless funds have actually been returned.
What to check and preserve
Ask for the source that supports each milestone and what remains to be done. If someone says assets have been recovered, ask which verified party controls them and which formal process governs release. Be cautious of screenshots of balances and payment demands allegedly needed to activate a transfer.
Limits and important distinctions
The FCA warns that recovery-room websites can fabricate success claims. Honest reporting should distinguish gross sums, fees, timing and case-specific limitations without using another person's experience as a guarantee. Do not pay on the strength of an undocumented outcome.
Checklist
- Define each milestone precisely.
- Ask for independently verifiable records.
- Distinguish secured assets from returned funds.
- Reject release fees based only on screenshots.
