How much could you claim?
Compensation is payable for losses incurred. You may have incurred a loss simply by transferring your final salary pension and investment losses may have occurred if your fund was invested in inappropriate investments.
There may be a number of parties against whom a claim can be made arising out of the whole circumstances surrounding your Pension Transfer.
| If the firm that advised you to transfer your defined benefit pension went bust before 1/4/19 | maximum pay-out from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme would be £50,000 |
| If the firm that advised you to transfer went bust after 1/4/19 | maximum pay-out from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme would be £85,000. |
| If the firm that advised you is still trading, but they reject your complaint | maximum compensation the Financial Ombudsman Service would compel the firm to pay is £160,000, if you were advised before 1/4/19 and up to £360,000 if the advice to transfer was given after 1/4/19. |
However, if the firm that advised you is still trading, uphold your complaint and agree to pay you compensation without any Financial Ombudsman Service intervention, there is no upper limit of compensation.
There is also no upper limit on damages and compensation payable should the matter proceed via Court Action or Mediation and you are successful in the sense of an award of damages and compensation by a judge hearing the court case, or agreement is reached by the parties in a process called Mediation.
