What is financial mis-selling?

Financial advisors, like any other professional, owe their clients a duty of care. At all times they must ensure that the advice they provide is both factually correct and suitable for their clients’ particular circumstances.

According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) all financial products should be sold in a way that is fair, clear, and not misleading. However, that is not always the case and we have seen cases where financial advisors have:

Provided bad or unsuitable advice in some way.
Glossed over, downplayed, or ignored the risks entirely.
Failed to disclose full particulars of a financial product resulting in clients purchasing a product that was not suitable.
Failed to disclose the presence of additional charges and hidden fees until after the client was committed.
Subjected clients to overly strong sales pressure techniques without concern for what would be best for them.

If you believe that any of the above apply and that you have been mis-sold a financial product, then call our expert financial and investment mis-selling solicitors today.

What sort of financial products can be mis-sold?

There are many financial products which can be mis-sold, including: pensions; annuities; loan notes; mini bonds; unit trusts; stocks and shares; cryptocurrencies; and contract for differences (CFDs).

Can I make a claim through the financial ombudsmen service?

If a regulated entity has failed, you in some way then you may be able to bring a claim against them through the Financial Ombudsmen Service (FOS). The FOS is a free service set up for clients of regulated entities that have suffered some form of financial loss. It is important to note that certain conditions and time limits apply when making a complaint to the FOS, so it is important to obtain assistance as early as possible. Please note that there are also strict limits on the maximum amount of compensation that can be awarded by the FOS.

Can I make a claim through the financial services compensation scheme?

If you have suffered loss because of a regulated entity, and that regulated entity is unable to pay compensation, then you may be able to bring a claim against them through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS is a free service set up for clients of regulated entities that have suffered some form of financial loss and is a statutory safety net of sorts to ensure that those clients receive at least some compensation. It is important to note that certain conditions and time limits apply when making a complaint to the FSCS, so it is important to obtain assistance as early as possible. Please note that there are also strict limits on the maximum amount of compensation that can be awarded by the FSCS.
