How much will I receive in compensation?
Whilst we specialise specifically in financial services claims we deal with a variety of different claim types and therefore the amounts of compensation awarded vary greatly. However, the principles upon which compensation awarded are to get you back to the position you would have been in had the mis-selling or professional negligence have not taken place.
There are also some limitations on the amount of compensation which is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and by Professional Indemnity insurers which again vary dependent on claim type.
As a rough guide, here are some of the claims we handle on a No Win No Fee basis and the average claim values awarded:
– Mis-Sold Pension Claims – Average Claim Value: *£62,378
– Investment Claims – Average Claim Value: *£31,679
– Financial Adviser Claims – Average Claim Value: *£14,278
– Business Energy Claims – Average Claim Value: *£12,342
– Tax Compensation Claims – Average Claim Value: *£17,369
– Car Finance Claims (Personal Contract Purchase) – *Average Claim Value: £5,238

How long does the claims process take?
We believe in quality over quantity when it comes to our work and therefore we will always take the time to prepare your claim correctly before it is submitted.
Some claims are simpler than others and how quickly the claim can be assessed will depend largely on the evidence we we have available from the start.
If you are somebody who has access to all your documentation relating to your claim such as credit agreements, pension documents, correspondence relating to your claim and are happy to share it with us then this may allow us to value and submit your claim more quickly.
However, in most cases we will need to gather evidence from your providers, this process normally takes 30 to 60 days. Once we have access to the required documentation, we can then clearly identify all the potential grounds and routes to claim, value your claim more accurately and submit your claims.
We have had claims upheld in full within 3 months however the average successful financial services claim takes 9 months from submission to receiving an offer, which is why we generally say to expect your claim to be settled within 12 months or signing to appoint us to manage your claim.
