Mortgage endowments are a nightmare for many
This is because of the high level of consumer detriment caused by
shortfalls.
 | Many had shortfalls from day one. |
 | The life offices knew this. |
 | The regulators knew this. |
 | Nobody wants to help, not even the High Court. |
How do you establish whether you have a claim?
If the risks turn out to be far higher than you would have accepted had
you understood what you were getting into then you have good grounds for
complaint. If the firm didn't explain in simple terms how much you could
lose you also have a good case.
 | Did the adviser carry out a full assessment? |
 | Did you know the policy was not guaranteed to pay off
the mortgage? |
 | Were you prepared to take this risk? |
 | Have you already complained? |
If you are unsure you should consider an complaint, the
firm will have to investigate and give you its findings which sometimes
results in their agreeing that you have received unsuitable advice. If they
refute the complaint you can take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service
(FOS). |

After two decades we are no better off, the list of failures grows
each day. |
