Have You Lost Money After Receiving Advice From St. James’s Place?
Types of complaints:
- Mis-sold Pensions
- ISA’s, Investment
- Shares
- Stocks
- Offshore Bonds
- High charges and Penalty Charges
- General Mis-advice
If any of the following points apply to you, it is very likely that you have grounds for a claim:
-
- Millions of pounds in financial adviser fees are being deducted from UK investors’ ISAs, pensions and investments every year – these fees could be refunded to you.
- In most cases the adviser is simply not able to provide the full extent of the services that they promised. This means clients are paying substantial fees for absolutely nothing. Their commission-based advisers may not have given you the best advice.
- Due to regulatory changes in 2012 nearly all investments and pensions have built in adviser charges. These are deducted every month / year to pay for an agreed level of ongoing service.
- Each time the adviser fails to meet these service levels they are breaching the terms of their contractual arrangements and you could be due compensation.
- Pensions: You were advised to switch your pension, consolidate your pensions, or transfer from a final salary scheme. Consolidation is rarely good advice but earns commission which is deducted from your pension. Moving from a final salary pension is rarely the correct advice. You were advised to stop one policy and start another, or their advice caused an unexpected tax bill.
Are you Eligible to Make a Claim?
Discovering if you are eligible to file a claim is straightforward. Have you encountered any of the following situations:
- Unnecessary Charges: If you have engaged with SJP within the last decade, post-2013 and you were billed for services you were unaware of or never actually received.
- Pensions Mis-advice: You were encouraged to purchase an FSAVC or personal pension despite having access to Added Years in your company’s in-house scheme.
- Pension Transfers: You received advice to transfer from a Final Salary Pension.

“The X-Claims team were recommended to me by many colleagues. I can see why now. From my first contact with them I found them to be knowledgable, clear talking, kind, professional, patient and thorough. They are experts in the field and navigate a hugely complex area that I have no knowledge of. They took away all the admin and stress for me. I would highly recommend Sophie & Lorraine and thank them for all their hard work getting a positive outcome for my case.”
