Claim for Mis-sold Walsall Burial Plots

Our team is dedicated to helping UK residents claim back the money that they could be owed from a mis-sold SIPP policy, and regularly help people receive back compensation after they have received bad or poor advice. Here, we address what exactly went wrong with the Walsall burial plot scheme and how you can launch a strong compensation claim.

If you were coerced into investing in the burial plots scheme and you lost a significant portion of your pension funds, you will understandably want to know what went wrong with the scheme. Despite the lack of information surrounding the scheme itself, it is a story like most others regarding investment schemes ‘gone wrong’. 

Without the proper due diligence – which here means the backing of the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) – financial advisers were able to adopt whichever sales methods they liked. When an investment scheme is licensed by the FCA, that scheme and sales methods are regulated with protection of the investor in mind. So, without this the burial plots investors were left unprotected. What’s more, with high commission rates it’s highly likely that financial advisers used ‘hard sales’ tactics to coerce investors (one of the most common is making ingenuine promises regarding returns on investment). If, in the scenario that the promised returns did not materialise, these investors are left unable to recoup their money. 

Fortunately, you could make a mis-sold SIPP compensation claim with us. 

To determine whether or not you can make a compensation claim to recoup losses, simply cross-reference the following signs with your own experience. If the following sounds familiar to you, then you should start a claim as soon as possible.

• You felt you didn’t quite understand the process – Being relatively new to investing, you felt unclear and uncomfortable at numerous points of the process. The financial adviser did not take steps to help. 
• The adviser used ‘hard sales’ tactics – Throughout the process, you felt pressured and coerced into something you weren’t sure about. 
• The advice you were given was objectively poor – You were still advised to switch even though there were less benefits for you in doing so. 
• There was a lack of transparency regarding fees/costs – You were not made aware of any management fees or additional costs attached to the investment. 
• You were not advised of the risks involved – If you were not given advice about the risky nature of investing in property and the potential negative implications. 
• It was suggested that you could avoid tax – If your financial or pensions adviser recommended a SIPP as a means of tax avoidance.

The Walsall burial plots were widely mis-sold, and a great number of people have lost huge portions of their hard-earned savings as a result.
