Are you worried you might be one of the millions of Britons affected by the UK pension mis-selling scandal? Estimates suggest over £10 billion in compensation is waiting to be claimed. If you suspect you were pressured into an unsuitable pension product, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation.
Justizia isn't just another legal service. We specialise in helping individuals like you navigate the complex process of claiming compensation for pension mis-selling. Our experienced team will fight to ensure you receive what you're rightfully owed.
What is Pension Mis-Selling?
Pension mis-selling occurs when financial advisers provide misleading or inadequate advice, potentially causing significant financial losses down the road. Here's how it can happen:
- Inappropriate Advice: Being recommended a pension that doesn't fit your risk tolerance, investment goals, or retirement needs.
- Hidden Information: Not being fully informed about the risks involved, potential charges, or limitations on your investment choices.
- Unrealistic Promises: Financial advisers failing to explain potential risks or promising guaranteed returns that are too good to be true.
- SIPP Coercion: Being pressured into transferring your pension to a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) with false promises of high returns. SIPPs are complex investments with a higher risk profile and aren't suitable for everyone.
Next, let's explore some warning signs that you may have been a victim of pension mis-selling...
Signs You May Have Been Mis-Sold a Pension:
- Did you transfer a secure defined benefit pension to a personal pension with potentially lower returns and higher risks?
- Were you informed about the exit fees involved in transferring your pension?
- Did you feel pressured to make a quick decision without proper time to consider your options?
- Were you promised unrealistic or guaranteed returns on your pension investment?
- Do you feel your current pension doesn't meet your retirement goals, and the advice you received was inadequate?
How Justizia Can Help:
At Justizia, we understand the financial hardship caused by pension mis-selling. We offer a comprehensive service to help you navigate the claims process, potentially recover your losses, and achieve a positive outcome. Here's what we can do for you:
- Free Initial Assessment: We'll review your situation and determine if you have a strong case for compensation.
- Gathering Evidence: We'll work with you to collect evidence of mis-selling, such as communication records, pension transfer documents, or financial advisor statements.

- Expert Representation: Throughout the claims process, we'll represent you, ensuring your rights are protected and advocating for the maximum compensation possible.
Understanding Compensation and the Claims Process:
The compensation you may receive depends on the specifics of your case and the losses incurred due to mis-selling.

The claims process can take time, but with our guidance and expertise, we'll work to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. We operate on a "No Win, No Fee" basis, so you won't incur any upfront costs. Our fees are only payable if we successfully secure compensation for you.
