A mis-sold pension claim arises when a financial adviser gives unsuitable or misleading advice, causing you to transfer or invest your pension in a way that puts your retirement savings at risk.

You could be entitled to claim compensation if:
At CEL Solicitors, we help people who were let down by financial advisers recover what they’re owed on a no-win, no-fee basis.
Mis-selling often involves transferring your pension into a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) linked to high-risk or unregulated investments. Many victims were told these schemes were secure or guaranteed when they were anything but.
Some of the most commonly mis-sold pension schemes include:
Victims of pension mis-selling have lost thousands — sometimes even hundreds of thousands of pounds. Many only discover the issue years later, often when trying to access their pension or speak to a new financial adviser.
If your adviser failed to warn you of the risks or pressured you into transferring quickly, that may be classed as financial negligence. And if the firm has since gone out of business, you may still be able to claim through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
If you transferred or invested your pension based on poor advice and have lost money as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if your adviser or firm is no longer trading, we may be able to help you make a claim through the FSCS or Financial Ombudsman Service.
