I transferred a British Steel or Cadbury pension — can you help?

Yes. DB pension transfer mis-selling from major North West employers is one of our core areas. Compensation is calculated using the FCA's DB transfer redress methodology (PS22/13), and we pursue FSCS or FOS routes depending on whether the adviser has defaulted or is still trading.

My IFA was in Salford but has since closed — is my claim dead?

No. If the firm has been declared in default, the FSCS pays eligible claims up to £85,000. We manage the application for you.

Financial mis-selling across Greater Manchester

Manchester is the financial capital of the North West — and a significant centre for financial mis-selling activity. A cluster of IFA firms operating across Salford, Stockport, and Bolton were identified by the FCA in the early 2010s as having sold unsuitable SIPP investments to clients transferring out of defined benefit pension schemes.

DB pensions and manufacturing workers

The North West has a deep industrial heritage, with large numbers of workers holding valuable defined benefit pensions through manufacturing, engineering, and public sector employers. Many were encouraged by travelling advisers to transfer these pensions into SIPPs holding unregulated assets. If you worked in manufacturing or the public sector in Greater Manchester and transferred a final salary pension before 2020, your transfer may have been mis-sold.

Wealth management claims

Manchester's growing financial services sector — with major firms and IFA networks based in the city centre — has also generated wealth management and portfolio negligence claims. Unsuitable portfolio construction and excessive-risk investments are increasingly common complaints from Greater Manchester clients.
