Paybacker for Business · API

UK Consumer Rights, as an API.

Cite the right statute. Draft the right response. Escalate the right way. Built on UK consumer legislation, kept current, available as REST or MCP.

The problem

Consumer law inside a product is a hard build.

Your support team isn't a law firm

Front-line agents handle thousands of consumer queries weekly. Without statutory grounding, answers are conservative-by-default and customers escalate.

Generic LLMs hallucinate statutes

Out-of-the-box models cite repealed acts, invent thresholds, and confuse English law with Scots law. Production-grade UK reasoning needs ground truth.

Hiring legal eng is slow and expensive

A senior consumer-law engineer plus the data work to maintain a statute index can run twelve months and a quarter-million pounds before first deploy.

Live example

One scenario in. Statute, entitlement, draft, escalation out.

Real UK261 entitlement returned with primary citation. The draft excerpt and escalation path are the same artefacts the consumer Paybacker app uses every day.

From the founder

This engine has been in production for months.

We built Paybacker — the UK consumer-rights AI assistant — to give households the ability to write a statutorily-grounded dispute letter in 30 seconds. The engine has been running in production, generating thousands of complaint letters citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015, Section 75, Package Travel Regs, UK261, and a long tail of sector-specific regulation.

We are now opening the same engine to platforms that need UK consumer-law reasoning inside their own products — without rebuilding the statute index from scratch.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Is this the same engine that powers the Paybacker consumer app?

Yes. The same statute index, entitlement reasoner, and letter generator. The B2B surface is a thin REST and MCP layer on top with rate limits, audit logging, and a per-tenant context.

Do you offer MCP?

Yes, on the Growth tier and above. The same engine is exposed as MCP tool calls so an LLM agent can ask for statute, entitlement, draft, and escalation in one round trip.

How do you keep the statute index current?

We watch the legislation.gov.uk feed plus regulator publications (Ofcom, Ofgem, FCA, CAA). Material changes flow into the engine within 7 days, with an Enterprise SLA that tightens this to 24 hours.

What about case law?

The engine cites primary statute and regulator guidance. Persuasive case authorities are surfaced where they materially change the entitlement (e.g. Wakefield v Logan-Air on UK261 extraordinary circumstances). We do not generate untested legal positions.

When does it launch?

Public launch depends on signup demand. Waitlist members receive a private design partner offer if their use case is a strong fit, ahead of general availability.
