sold endowments - Act now to reclaim your cash

sold endowments - Act now to reclaim your cash

Does this affect me? 

Selling your policy What is a final proposal?
A final proposal is what we offer. This means that we are buying insurance directly to you with our money. There are buyers, not brokers. This means that, unlike some of our competitors, do not rely on matching buyers for our clients, we are the buyer. So we can get the entire purchase process completed within 3-6 weeks. How long is the offer open?
Your offer is open for 7 days from the date it is of value (the date will appear at the top left of the contract). Nothing outside of this time might be necessary to re-evaluate or canceled according to our criteria at the time. I have a final proposal above, it can improve yours?
If you receive a final proposal as to let us know the name of the company that has offered this to you and the price. One of our representatives about the department forward this evaluation to see if we can compete against them. How do I pay?
You pay with a check for a lawyer once you have provided all the documents and we have verified the details of policy with the office of life. When should I stop paying my monthly premiums?
If you decide to sell your policy to us with a contract in the box the last line will say "for (and then a date) anything the seller and included after that date may be canceled, but that date must be paid by you. Want to buy unit-linked endowment policies or flexi-cluster plan?
No, we not only acquire 100% with-profits endowments. If the political unit of reference, being in a managed fund, with the cluster plan or a flexible then unfortunately these are not the kind of policies we buy. I lost my original policy documents, I can still sell my endowment?
Get your life in office for a replacement policy document, but make sure it is a replacement and not a copy with the "copy" the words around the world. With some life offices - Standard Life, Scottish Friendly, Scottish Widows and Prudential - do not always require a political document. What happens if the policy is insured against a mortgage?
A policy can be sold until suitable arrangements are made with the lender to repay or re-arranging the loan. Our lawyers will assist with the regime to release the policy document by the lender. Time Scale How long does the value of a policy?
Usually one business day. You will receive a contract in the post to sign and send back to us or you will receive an e-mail to say that they can 'make an offer. How long does it take to get paid?
Usually 3-6 weeks, faster than the documents are provided to our lawyers as fast as you can complete the purchase. Taxes Do you have any hidden costs or expenses?
No, no, the supply contract is the amount you receive from premiums paid until the date indicated on the contract. Any loans against the policy can be inferred from the offer or re-paid by you. What is the tax position, if a policy is sold?
Selling the policy will lead to tax consequences as a surrender to the insurance company. Security What happens to my personal information?
We collect your e-mail only for use by policy and our lawyers first and only gather information we need to buy your policy. This information will be used only in connection with the sale of your policy and for no other purpose.
We hate spam as much as you do. We do not share your information with anyone. You will not receive spam or junk mail as a result of giving your details. Since the supply of two referees required?
If you sell to us, ask for two references. This is because, at some point after the sale of the policy, the new owner could be required to determine whether a question was raised. How can I tell you that you say you are?
We are governed by the (Financial Services Authority), FSA registration number 179442, the details can be found on their website. We are also a member of the APMM (Association of Policy Market Makers), the premier industry trade body. How do I know if I have paid?
The transfer of ownership of the policy is conducted by a lawyer who holds the money owed to the trust in the same way it would if we were buying a house. The money is then paid as soon as the lawyers to receive notification that the ownership of the policy framework has been transferred to us. Lawyers are regulated by the Law Society.


ACT Quickly, time is ticking


Time is rapidly running out to make a complaint and get compensation, so if you think you may've been missold, it is urgent to act as quickly as possible. If you're planning on doing any overpayments on your mortgage to check in advance if this might affect your claim misselling.
The companies said they would only need to deal with claims if they were made within the two limits of time ... the longest:

    
* O ... six years since you purchased the policy.

      
You have six years from the date you bought your policy, but most policies have been substantially sold more than six years ago, so this is largely defunct.

    
* O ... three years from the date on which it is realized that may've been mis-sold.

      
Again, time is running out here as it is more than three years since the governor has said that companies had to write to the customer who had shortcomings. Yet not all banks started sending letters immediately and you can not have had a deficit initially, and then received a subsequent letter.
What to do if you think you are past the time limit.
Even if you crossed the line still worth trying to make a claim, as we are often talking about a lot of money. The nature of the complaint has to face because you have not made a claim - in time.
Although this is only "I received the letter and did not really understand what I was saying, but she explained and it does now." The best thing to do here is a quick phone call to the helpline for the Financial Ombudsman, which deals with these cases to see how the country is, the number is 020 7964 0500.



 How to complain: it only takes a few minutes

You must pick up paperwork as far as you can find and then need to write to the company that sold you the policy.

The campaign to reclaim equipment MoneySavingExpert.com first started, and what? has years of experience through his campaign Endowmentaction free. (If the link does not work for you search for 'mis-sold endowments' What the homepage.)

It will tell you who to complain about (usually the Financial Ombusdman), as it includes the letters can be printed to make a complaint immediately. So, quite simply, at this point allow me to pass that way.

What happens if the company no longer exists I have a complaint?

It may still be able to claim off the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which is a state body there to protect consumers if things go wrong. More details on the FSCS website.
 


Don’t pay to complain  

There are many companies willing to fight your battle for you (just try to do a search on Google and you'll see them all). Everyone says its free, but shock, horror they also want to take a major cut of your winnings. I'm not a big fan of these, you're free to do so much better with Endowmentaction and help the Financial Ombudsman.

Yet, if you are at the end of your attack and do not think any other way, then it is better than doing nothing. However, to ensure that it will not pay a cent if you do not receive compensation and that, even if you are simply taking money from your compensation and do not charge a fee or make you buy an insurance policy.
