All investments require some risk; this is inherent to the concept of an investment. However, sometimes a loss was avoidable had an investor received the right information. Mis-sold investment claims frequently affect small investors who are ordinary people. They are victimised by banks and investment institutions selling products that are not suitable.
Here is how you can figure out if you have grounds for an investment claims case.
You Were Given The Wrong Information
Often, bank employees and financial advisors are under pressure to make as many sales as possible, which leads them to obfuscate details about an investment. They could have downplayed the risk of a certain investment or concealed information about a potential investment that was not one of the bank’s products.
You Were Directed To Buy Something That Did Not Meet Your Needs
Often, financial planners and bank employees steer customers towards buying certain products that earn them the most commission, even if that is not right for the customer. Common mis-sold investment claims happen when banks steer customers towards high-risk investments when customers stated they wanted low-risk investments. If you were pressured into investing more money than you could afford, that is also grounds for a case.
You Lost Money
Finally, you must prove that you were harmed by the bad investment and that you lost money due to the wrong information you were given.
If you believe that you were the victim of a mis-sold investment, contact a solicitor such as Business Title to file a claim through the Financial Ombudsman Service.
