Heritage Pension Mis-Selling Claim

Make a Heritage Pension Mis-Selling Claim with KP Law

Is Heritage Pension limited responsible for your pension loss?

Heritage Pensions Limited was a SIPP provider that went into liquidation in March 2022. The business received a slew of mis-sold SIPP claims after clients discovered it had not done the due diligence needed to protect them from non-standard, unregulated and potentially dangerous investments.

If you held a Heritage Pensions SIPP, and your pension was mis-sold, you could have a compensation claim.

In 2022, Heritage Pensions entered into liquidation after the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) upheld four mis-selling claims. The ombudsman ordered the pension provider to pay clients up to £150,000 in compensation each, totalling £600,000. The decision related to pension transfer advice given by TailorMade Independent Limited. Heritage Pensions was unable to pay the redress due, so the company went into liquidation. One claimant lost a whopping £280,000 when her defined benefit pensions were transferred into a SIPP consisting of high-risk investments.

If you have ever taken a SIPP out with Heritage Pension Limited, you may be entitled to compensation. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects pension customers when authorised firms fail. So, even though Heritage has entered into liquidation, you can still claim compensation of up to £85,000.

What happened to the pension I had with Heritage Pension Limited?

Regardless of whether you were mis-sold or not, on the 18th of November 2021, your pension, and others held by Heritage, were transferred to another provider. The SIPP operator who is now managing these pensions is named PSG SIPP. It’s likely you have already been notified by PSG of this transfer.

But if your pension was mis-sold, you could now be entitled to make a customer claim against Heritage

What is a SIPP?

A SIPP is different from a workplace pension. SIPPs were established to fill a gap in the market where a small number of pension holders wanted greater control over their investments. They were designed for experienced investors who potentially had an interest in the stock market. Sadly, this product has been abused by several financial advisers

If any of the following are true for you, you may have been mis-sold a SIPP:

You were misled about the projected outcome of your investment
Your SIPP provider pushed you into switching providers without giving a proper explanation
You were promised an increase in investment only to lose money
Massive drops or changes to your investment that you were not warned about have occurred.

What can you do if you’ve been mis-sold by Heritage SIPP?

In theory, you can make a mis-sold pension claim with the FSCS yourself. But without the right professional advice and guidance, your claim could be inefficient, and you could get less compensation than you deserve. And there’s no guarantee that you will actually win. You could also be liable for the other side’s costs if you lose.
