OUR INVESTMENT FRAUD & MIS-SELLING ACTIONS



We work with clients who have been impacted by investment scams, frauds and
mis-selling by professional advisors to obtain redress where they have suffered
loss due to unlawful conduct or negligence. We typically work with groups of
individuals or businesses to recover their losses on a collective basis as this
is a more powerful and cost-effective method of obtaining redress. The size of
these group claims ranges from a small number of claimants to many thousands
pursuing a common outcome.

We work closely with consumer organisations, financial regulators and government
agencies to lobby for better access to justice for consumers and vulnerable
groups who have become victims of corrupt or negligent investments.

With a deep understanding of and extensive experience in investment mis-selling
and fraud claims, our expert team investigates and pursues claims in the UK and
beyond. Acting on behalf of individuals, we make claims against liable financial
organisations. In addition, where required, we are experienced in tracing and
recovering the proceeds of fraud. We can also secure emergency relief such as
freezing injunctions and search and seizure orders.

Experts in complex litigation and multi-claimant actions against fraudsters,
professional advisors and financial institutions, when it comes to getting
justice for our clients, we have everything it takes to win.

If you have made risky or bad investments based on incorrect, incomplete, or
negligent financial advice, you might be able to claim compensation to cover
your losses.


OUR CURRENT CLAIMS




AUTHORISED PUSH PAYMENT FRAUD

Authorised Push Payment Fraud, more commonly known as bank transfer scams or
online scams, happens when fraudsters deceive individuals into sending them
money.

Because the victim believes the fraudster to be genuine, they authorise the
transfer of funds from their bank account.
The money is then quickly transferred to different accounts, often abroad,
making recovering the money very difficult, and often impossible.

Typical push payment scams include:

 * Convincing people to transfer money to someone official, such as a solicitor
   (e.g. when buying a house).
 * A telephone call to the victim pretending to be from the police or their
   bank’s own fraud team.
 * The fraudster claims to represent a government department or utility company
   and requests that the victim pay overdue tax or a penalty.
 * Sending emails pretending to be from a friend asking for money.
   
   

If you have been a victim of this form of cybercrime, we can help you get your
money back.

FINAL SALARY PENSION TRANSFER CLAIMS

Final salary pensions – also known as defined benefit pensions – can offer
outstanding benefits, including a guaranteed income for life in retirement.
However, many should be wary of advisors that tell them to transfer.

While transferring away from a defined benefit pension may be suitable for some,
many people are told to transfer due to negligent or misleading pension transfer
advice.

A final salary pension transfer claim allows you to claim compensation for the
mis-selling of the pension transfer.

If you think you may have been mis-sold your pension transfer, we make the
process of claiming back what you are due straightforward.

SIPP PENSION TRANSFER

Pensions help us save for retirement. Traditional pensions lack the freedom and
flexibility to invest where you want to. It is not always clear what’s happening
with your money.

A SIPP pension is a UK government-approved pension scheme, designed to give
people freedom over their investment choices back, so that you have more control
over your future.

A SIPP also brings tax relief on all payments into the pension. Meaning, you pay
no capital gains tax and can withdraw a tax-free lump sum (up to 25% of the
pension pot) when you reach 55.

This financial freedom and huge tax relief incentives made SIPPs an extremely
popular choice for those wishing to maximise their pension fund and enjoy their
retirement.

A SIPP pension transfer claim allows you to claim compensation for the
mis-selling of the SIPP pension transfer.

If you think you may have been mis-sold your SIPP, we make the process of
claiming back what you are due straightforward.

MILITARY PENSION CLAIM

If you were encouraged to transfer your Armed Forces Pension, you might have a
claim for compensation.

The UK military pension is one of the most reliable and robust in the world. It
sticks with inflation and ensures that service personnel and their families are
looked after.

But prior to 2015, thousands of service personnel were targeted and persuaded to
move their valuable pensions into risky, unregulated, and unsuitable private
schemes and scams.

If you are a veteran, and you moved your military pension, you could have lost
thousands of pounds.

To have this money stolen from you is unacceptable and unlawful.

STOCKS & SHARES ISA

Many bank financial advisors were “Tied Agents”, this meant they could only
recommend investment products provided by their bank. This limited the
investment options available.

As a result, customers were often sold investments that suited the banks rather
than the customer’s needs.

Motivated by lucrative commissions these agents failed to properly explain the
risks associated with the investments, focusing instead on their own bonuses.

If you think you may have been mis-sold your stocks and shares ISA, we make the
process of claiming back what you are due straightforward.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED


What counts as mis-selling?

Professional financial advisers owe you a specific duty of care to ensure that
their advice to you and any related financial products they sell to you are
suitable and appropriate for your circumstances. The information they provide to
you must be clear, fair and not misleading and any risks must be clearly and
properly explained. Some common examples of mis-selling are:

 * The advice you received was unsuitable for your circumstances and the outcome
   was not what you expected.
 * You did not receive the full details of the financial product sold and you
   purchased a product that turned out to be unsuitable.
 * The risks of a financial product were not properly explained, or were
   downplayed or misrepresented.
 * Your adviser recommended a switch of your existing plans to a new provider
   without a clear and coherent reason.
 * The charges and fees involved in the advice and/or financial product were not
   clearly explained and disclosed.
 * You have suffered significant financial loss which has had a serious
   detriment on your standard of living.
 * You have lost valuable guarantees (such as a final salary pension guarantee)
   on the advice of a professional financial adviser.
 * You suspect that the investment product you were sold was in-fact a fraud or
   an unregulated investment and you have lost money.

Do I have to have lost money to make an investment mis-selling claim?

No – even if you haven’t lost any money yet, if the financial product or advice
provided wasn’t suitable for you, you may still be able to make a complaint and
pursue a claim for investment mis-selling. You cannot claim just because an
investment performed badly – some investments are risky – but you can claim
where the product or advice was unsuitable and the financial adviser failed to
properly assess your needs and objectives and take your personal circumstances
into account. Additionally, some mis-selling claims such as final salary pension
transfers or pension switching cases involve complex calculations where the
financial losses are not yet visible or easy to spot. You may be missing out on
potential returns or valuable benefits as a result of being mis-sold. We will
help you to work out whether you are able to make a mis-selling claim.

Can you help me investigate my complaint?

We have significant experience in handling financial fraud and mis-selling
claims. Our expert team will assess your situation and investigate what has
happened on your behalf. If we conclude that you have a valid claim, we will
explain the next steps and help you to claim compensation to cover the losses
that you have suffered.

How would I know if I have been mis-sold an investment?

If you have lost a large percentage of your investment as a result of poor
advice, corrupt advisers, hard sales or pressure selling, high fees or having
your financial products switched unnecessarily, it is likely that you have been
mis-sold. You cannot claim just because an investment performed badly – some
investments are risky – but you can claim where the product or advice was
unsuitable and the financial adviser failed to properly assess your needs and
objectives and take your personal circumstances into account.

By speaking to our expert team, we will review your investment and investigate
what has happened to determine whether you have a claim for mis-selling.

Is investment mis-selling a crime?

A financial adviser acting negligently and mis-selling you a financial product
is not necessarily a criminal offence unless a criminal fraud occurs. However,
this is a complex area of law and our team will be able to assess your situation
and advise you on the best course of action for claiming compensation for your
losses.

How much will I get back?

The level of compensation that we may be able to recover for you will depend on
a number of factors including:

 * the type of financial product you have taken out
 * whether or not you used a regulated financial adviser to make the investment
 * when you made the investment
 * whether the financial adviser who sold you the product is still in business
 * whether the adviser in question is still regulated and authorised by the FCA.
 * Whether or not a criminal fraud has occurred

Can I claim if the financial advisor is no longer in business?

Yes, there are a number of potential routes to compensation if your financial
adviser has gone out of business, including the statutory redress scheme know as
the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Our team will assess your
claim and advise you of the available routes to compensation.

How much will it cost me to claim with Keller Postman UK?

Our fee will depend on the nature and complexity of the mis-selling claim and
will be fully explained and disclosed to you before we undertake any work on
your case. If we are unsuccessful at recovering compensation for you, in most
cases there will be no cost to you at all.
