Good to know: You do not need to use a claims management company to make your complaint to your pension provider or intermediary. If your complaint is not successful you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Pension Ombudsman yourself for free if the firm is still trading. For eligible failed firms, you can refer a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for free.
Andy understands financial services regulations and the technical arguments required to make a successful claim.
In his career he has successfully dealt with an array of claims such as pension transfers and switches, SIPP and endowment claims.
Andy was part of the “Pension Review” and Customer Liaison Departments for Royal Sun Alliance. Unhappy with how consumers were being treated, he realigned himself and has been representing consumers since 2004, ensuring fair and equitable treatment for consumers.
Contact AndyAuhua Clean Energy was a fund promoted by financial advisors and firms across the country. Hundreds of unsuspecting clients were mis-sold SIPP pension products and lost a substantial portion of their retirement savings. Were you misled into investing with Auhua Clean Energy?
Advisors all across the UK mis-sold SIPP pension funds by investing their clients’ money into unregulated funds like Auhua Clean Energy. Clients were not made aware that Auhua was high risk, and so they withdrew their pension savings from reputable and reliable schemes and instead transferred them into SIPP funds.
Did an investor convince you or trick you into investing in Auhua Clean Energy or a similar fund? Were you misled about the risks of such an investment? If so, you could qualify for mis-sold SIPP compensation. Auhua Clean Energy was associated with a firm that regularly mis-sold SIPP products to clients: Blueinfinitas. If you dealt with Blueinfinitas or ever invested in Auhua Clean Energy, you could finally get your financial restitution.
Blueinfinitas mis-sold SIPP pension products to clients around the country, investing their money in high-risk unregulated funds without explaining the risks.
Blueinfinitas itself has been the subject of more than 400 claims to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Their spokeswoman says that the FSCS had paid out more than £1.1 million in mis-sold compensation on just 52 of those claims, and that was back in 2016!
Did you invest any of your pension funds in Auhua Clean Energy on the advice of Blueinfinitas or any other firm?
If a Blueinfinitas or any other advisor convinced you to put your pension money into their investments, only for that investment to fail, you might qualify for mis-sold SIPP compensation.
Our claims experts can advise on whether you could qualify for mis-sold SIPP compensation. Apply online today for an information pack to learn more.
If a financial advisor advised you to invest in an unregulated investment such as Auhua Clean Energy, it is still possible to claim compensation. Where the advisor is still operating, a claim can be pursued against the financial advisor via the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
If an advisor is no longer operating, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) pays compensation for valid mis-selling claims against any financial advisor who has been declared in default by them.
If your pension included investment in Auhua Clean Energy, you could be entitled to compensation.
