Were you advised to take out a Free Standing Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme (FSAVC)?
If you had an occupational pension scheme and were persuaded into taking a Free Standing Additional Value Contribution scheme, you may have been poorly advised and due compensation plus 8% interest.
Often FSAVC’s offered outside your company scheme were more expensive than the AVC plans offered through your employer.
It is generally accepted by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that AVC’s were a better option for members of occupational pension schemes because of the lower charges and employer contribution.
Please contact us if you think you may have been mis- sold a FSAVC as you may be due compensation plus interest.
Call today or fill in your details online and let us see if we can help. All work is carried out on a No Win No Fee basis, as usual.
