Carey Pension Mis-Selling Claim

Make a Carey Pension Mis-Selling Claim with KP Law

Have you been mis-sold a pension by Carey?

Carey Pensions was a provider of SIPPs. The company advised thousands of people in the UK to invest in unsuitable schemes, leaving them out of pocket and short on their pensions. If you moved your retirement money into a Carey Pensions SIPP, you could have a mis-selling compensation claim.

In 2021, the Court of Appeal ruled against the pension provider when it concluded unanimously that the firm was liable for a client’s losses. In this case (Adams v Carey), a lorry driver called Russell Adams took Carey Pensions to court after he lost thousands due to transferring his pension into an unsuitable and high-risk SIPP. The court has since ruled that the provider cannot appeal this case.

This landmark decision opens the way for more clients to make mis-sold SIPP claims. In particular, the ruling has implications for other customers of Carey Pensions who could potentially have a viable claim against the provider and therefore be entitled to compensation.

What happened in relation to pensions mis-selling?

CLP Brokers Sociedad Limitada (CLP), based in Spain, contacted Russell Adams and convinced him that he would be better off having his funds in a SIPP. A SIPP pension plan gives people much more control over their pension funds and their investments.

At first sight, everything looked good, and he was introduced to SIPP provider Carey Pensions. One of its options was a high-risk and unregulated investment in store pod leases. Following CLP’s advice, Adams transferred his pension to the SIPP provider. But this resulted in a huge loss. In March 2015, Adams brought Cary Pensions to court to recover his losses. After a lengthy legal battle, the Court of Appeal voted that there had been a breach of the Financial Service and Markets Act, and that Adams was entitled to compensation.

This result is good news for others who invested via Carey Pensions and could potentially fast-track more complaints against the business. Common investments mis-sold by Carey Pensions include Ethical Forestry, Global Plantations, and Store First Storage Pods.
