My SIPP operator has gone into default — what happens?

You may be entitled to FSCS compensation of up to £85,000. We prepare and submit the FSCS application on your behalf and can pursue additional routes where losses exceed the FSCS cap.

My bank refused to refund an APP fraud — can you challenge that?

Yes. Under the PSR's 2024 mandatory reimbursement rules, banks must reimburse most authorised payment fraud victims up to £85,000. Refusals can be escalated to FOS and, if necessary, the courts.

Do I need to come to Carlisle?

No. All North East consultations are conducted remotely by phone or video call.

Financial Mis-Selling Solicitors in Newcastle

Financial mis-selling in Newcastle and the North East

Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East have a strong industrial heritage in shipbuilding, coal mining, steel, and engineering — sectors that generated substantial defined benefit pension entitlements for many workers over generations. The decline of these industries, combined with aggressive adviser activity in the region, means that a significant number of North East residents transferred out of valuable final salary pension schemes in the 2010–2020 period.

SIPP mis-selling in the North East

Several SIPP operators and IFA firms active in the North East have since been declared in default, having placed clients into care home room investments, fractional property schemes, and unregulated bonds. If your SIPP operator has gone into default, the FSCS provides compensation of up to £85,000 — and we manage the application for you.

APP fraud — bank transfer scam claims

Newcastle and Sunderland clients have been affected by authorised push payment fraud at increasing rates. Under the PSR's mandatory reimbursement rules (effective October 2024), banks must reimburse most APP fraud victims up to £85,000. If your bank has refused to refund you, we can challenge that decision.
