Frequently Asked Questions

Pension mis-selling occurs when a financial adviser provides unsuitable advice to transfer or invest your pension into schemes that are inappropriate for your financial situation or risk appetite. This could include high-risk investments or inappropriate pension transfers, such as moving a defined benefit pension into a riskier scheme.

You may have been mis-sold a pension if:
– You were advised to move your pension into high-risk investments without understanding the risks.
– You were not informed of exit fees or charges when transferring your pension.
– You were advised to transfer out of a defined benefit pension, which led to financial losses.
If these situations sound familiar, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Compensation depends on the extent of your losses. Typically, it includes financial losses due to bad advice or mismanagement, including lost returns, exit fees, and fees paid for services that were not delivered. We assess your case and help you understand the potential amount of compensation.

There are time-barring restrictions for pension mis-selling claims, usually six years from when the advice was given, or three years from when you realised the pension was mis-sold. It’s important to act quickly to ensure your claim is within the legal timeframe.

The process involves:
– A free consultation to assess your case.
– Gathering of all necessary evidence, such as contracts and statements.
– Submission of your claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or other relevant bodies.
We handle the entire process for you and keep you informed throughout.

Our services are provided on a no-win-no-fee basis, meaning you will only pay if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees.

The time it takes to process a pension mis-selling claim can vary based on the complexity of the case and the involvement of other parties. On average, claims can take several months to a year to resolve, but we will work diligently to handle your case as efficiently as possible.
