Mis-sold investments – Were you given misleading advice on a high-risk plan?


If you are a cautious investor who has been wrongly advised or misled into investing money into a high-risk plan without realising, you could claim compensation for money lost on a mis-sold investment.


Misleading advice


Many cautious investors in the UK have suffered losses through misleading advice on 'capital secure' investments, thinking that 'capital secure' really did mean that their capital was safe.


Do any of these statements ring true with you?


  • Have you been mis-sold an investment plan by your bank?
  • Did you want to invest your money into a low-risk fund but the bank ignored your wishes and put your money in a high-risk investment plan instead?
  • Did your bank state that your investment value could not decrease?
  • Did they imply that the term ‘100% Capital Secure’ meant your capital was not at risk?
  • Did you find the bank's brochures misleading with statements like '100% of your capital back'?
  • Were all the risks of investing your money fully explained to you by the bank?
  • Based on your financial goals did your bank try and sell you financial products which you feel were unsuitable, even if you have not lost money?
  • Did you have problems accessing your money, after being led to believe you would have instant access?
  • Did the bank encourage you to tie money up in long term arrangements without making sure you were left with enough money for your short term expenditure?
  • Do you believe that your bank gave you misleading advice and that you may be a victim of misleading investment sales practices?

High-risk investments


Even worse, banks are mis-selling high-risk investment plans to vulnerable elderly people who are losing thousands upon thousands of pounds despite thinking that their capital is secure.


It is this misleading promise that means many cautious investors don’t realise for some time that they have lost money through risky investments.
