Montpelier Pension Administration Services Limited was a financial advisory company that mis-sold SIPP pension products to hundreds of British clients. They advised their clients to transfer their retirement savings from reliable and established pension schemes into risky, unregulated SIPPs. As a result, people lost their savings and were left in financial ruin. Did this happen to you?

Montpelier Pension Administration is technically still active, but there is an active proposal to strike them off the companies register. Were you targeted by an advisor at Montpelier? Were you mis-sold SIPP pension products by Montpelier Pension Administration? If so, you might be eligible for mis-sold SIPP compensation, now made available by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

What Happened with Montpelier Pension Administration?

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and FSCS declared Montpelier to be in default in January 2018. Their SIPP funds contained unregulated investments in oil fields, offshore property, and storage pods, a common investment in these risky SIPPs. The FSCS ruled that Montpelier failed to perform due diligence, and caused hundreds of people like you to lose their retirement savings.

If you were sold a SIPP by Montpelier Pension Administration at any point in the past, you need to look over your past transactions. While you may have been mis-sold SIPP pension products, you could still recoup some of the money you lost.

Are you entitled to mis-sold SIPP compensation from Montpelier Pension Administration?

Did you ever work with Montpelier Pension Administration? If you were a client of this dissolved company, you may be entitled to mis-sold SIPP compensation. Montpelier Pension Administration is no longer trading, and can no longer offer returns on your investments. However, the government has made mis-sold SIPP compensation available for people like you. Do you qualify?

Our expert claims team is on hand to look over your specific case. They can assess your past dealings with Montpelier Pension Administration and determine if you were mis-sold sipp pension products. If so, you can apply for the FSCS’s mis-sold SIPP compensation. Apply online today for an information pack to learn more.

Learn With Allegiant: What is a SIPP?

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has identified ‘serious and ongoing failings’ by both Individual Financial Advisers (IFAs) and Self-Invested Personal Pension Providers. Typically, mis-selling is related to the “wrong” type of investor being given poor or misleading advice as to what investments were relatively safe and right for them. In this summary, we look at What a SIPP is, and how they have been mis-sold, together with the FCA’s review into sector malpractice.
