credit-hire.ai

I told you recently that it was important to keep an eye on the role of AI in credit hire and today I am writing to let you know that credit-hire.ai is now available. This is an extension of The Credit Hire Forum, an AI-powered research platform built specifically for credit hire professionals.

I have spent a couple of weeks building it and I am quite excited. As a subscriber to the Credit Hire Forum, you have full access to the new platform at no additional charge (i.e., there is no cost to you for access) and I’d encourage you to have a look and let me know if there is anything else you’d like to see.

There is a good deal to explore on the platform already, but I want to begin with something I expect will be of particular interest.

BHR Intelligence — coming within the next two weeks

Those of you who have followed my work will know that dishonesty in the basic hire rate market has been a longstanding grievance of mine. I identified the Autofocus fraud and gave evidence that led to eight people being sent to prison. Sadly, the dishonesty did not end there.

Last year I ran a series of webinars setting out, in some detail, why I believe the BHR evidence routinely placed before courts remains unreliable — and what a proper evidential response to it might look like. Within the next week or two, a BHR Intelligence module will go live on credit-hire.ai. I will say no more than that for now — but if the challenge to BHR evidence matters to your practice, I would encourage you to register before it arrives.

What is available now

The platform already contains substantial content across four areas:

AI case law queries — put any credit hire legal question in plain English. The system searches over 400 indexed cases and returns a cited, synthesised answer drawn from the actual judgment summaries. The database covers impecuniosity, need, duration, storage charges, NPCOs, like-for-like vehicles and the full range of credit hire legal issues, spanning every level of court from the House of Lords to recent County Court decisions.

Liability database — 284 liability cases covering causation, contributory negligence, pre-existing damage, CCTV evidence, and related issues, each with a structured summary and, where available, a link to the judgment PDF.

Case browser — the full database filterable by court level, year, topic, and outcome, with key principles, citations, and significance ratings for every entry.

Industry directory — 118 credit hire industry participants across CHOs, solicitors, counsel, chambers, BHR specialists, engineers, funders and consultants, with direct links to each.

Access and eligibility

Access is included within the Credit Hire Forum subscription. If you are receiving this email, your organisation holds a subscription, and you are entitled to register.

Several of our subscribers are large organisations — law firms, insurers, claims management businesses — where individual employees may not be aware that a firm subscription is in place. If that applies to you, no further authorisation is needed. You simply register.

I look forward to sharing more on the BHR Intelligence module shortly.
