Mis-Sold Shares Claims

Thousands of people have been mis-sold shares & stocks over the last 30 years and do not even realize it.  The sales tactics of these now defaulted investment companies means that many of their ex-clients are entitled to compensation.

Mis-selling claims can arise for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following;

• Firm was trading as principal but failed to disclose it.
• Risks were not adequately explained.
• Firm failed to properly assess your financial circumstances.
• Shares were unsuitable for you.
• Broker gave you false or misleading information.

A large number of investment firms have been declared no longer authorised by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority).  This means that if you have invested with these companies directly, through an IFA (Independent Financial Advisor) or used your pension, you could be eligible for compensation through the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme).
