You can make you claim to the Financial Ombudsman Scheme or to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme as applicable. You should also check if you have any other means of pursuing the Claim including using any legal expenses insurance or another dispute resolution service or ombudsman service which may be an option.

What Happens Next
• We will first carry out an initial assessment of your potential claim. This is normally done by telephone. • You will then be sent our claim pack to read complete, sign and return. This will include our Pre contract information, full T&C’s, Forms of Authority and Enquiry Form and a Cancellation Form
• We would ask you to provide copies of all correspondence and documentation that you hold in relation to the
advice received. We also need to document your recollection of people, firms and events which may be relevant. • On receipt of your completed claim pack and supporting documents we would write to any relevant parties to
request copy files or documents. We will also investigate people and firms to determine if a claim may exist and
against whom.
• Once we have gathered all the relevant information, we will carry out a detailed assessment. At this stage we may have some further questions for you.
• If we agree that you have a valid claim, we will submit a letter of complaint to the firm involved or the financial adviser.
• Should the firm reject your complaint we will discuss the options available to you. If we believe the firm is wrong in their assessment, we would recommend that the complaint is submitted to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). We will only do this on your behalf if given permission to do so.
• Should the firm that you are complaining about have ceased or cease to be authorised we will submit your claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
