Ever lost money from an investment sold by your bank?

-

Even if it was sold as long ago as 1990, you can still WIN BACK YOUR OLD LOSSES. Bank investment­s were often just too risky or didn’t match your needs.

Even if you got your money back 4 or 5 years later with no gain, that’s still a loss. Compensati­on may be due.

Last December, Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland were fined £28 million for giving bad advice and incentivis­ing sales staff unfairly.

These so-called ‘advisers’ invested over £2 billion from 700,000 customers in 15 months earning big bonuses, but many people like you made big losses.

Banks knew when a large sum came into a customer account from a house sale, a pension lump sum etc. and pounced, tipping off their sales

teams with confidenti­al account informatio­n.

Banks also concealed investment risks to get a sale. Halifax marketed what it called its ‘cautious managed fund’ and

Barclays its ‘ Cautious

Global Income Fund’ to cautious customers who had never invested before, but neither product was cautious!

These rackets have been going on for 25 years and almost all banks, building societies and investment companies have been fined for bad practices (see table).
