If you cannot regulate properly don't bother!

 

 

Mortgage endowments are a nightmare for many
This is because of the high level of consumer detriment caused by shortfalls.

bulletMany had shortfalls from day one.
bulletThe life offices knew this.
bulletThe regulators knew this.
bulletNobody 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.

bulletDid the adviser carry out a full assessment?
bulletDid you know the policy was not guaranteed to pay off the mortgage?
bulletWere you prepared to take this risk?
bulletHave 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).
