    What went wrong with Liberty SIPP?

    Liberty SIPP was a provider of Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) which was founded in 2007.

    In 2015, following a series of landmark decisions from the Financial Ombudsman Service, it began to emerge that Liberty had been allowing unscrupulous financial advisors to transfer their clients’ pension funds into high risk, unsuitable and illiquid investments such as:

    • Green Energy
    • US Housing Market Funds
    • Australian Farmland
    • Ethical Forestry

    As a consequence of Liberty’s failure to undertake any proper due diligence on the investments, many clients have now lost substantial sums of money from their retirement savings.

    Have you been affected?

    • Were you advised to transfer your pension into a SIPP managed by Liberty SIPP?
    • Were you promised returns on your investments which never materialised?
    • Did you come out with less than you originally invested?

    If you have answered yes to any the above questions, please contact Oakwood Solicitors urgently as we may be able to help!

    What should you do if you received advice to invest your pension into Liberty SIPP?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I know if I’ve been mis-sold a SIPP?

    It is important to note that not all SIPPs are mis-sold. If you are unsure if you were mis-sold a SIPP then check out the common mis-selling features below.

    It is likely that you were mis-sold a SIPP if you:

    magnifying glass

    Were not given the full cost breakdown for management fees or additional costs attached to the investment

    shield coins

    Invested without fully receiving an explanation of the risks including the potential to lose your pension

    phone coins

    Were cold called by a 3rd party company

    house clock coins

    Had been told your investment would grow considerably and would provide a large return

    hand coins

    Were pressured into acting quickly or because you were told you would risk losing out

    nest egg £

    Were told that you could take a large lump sum of cash out of your pension or access the pension before your retirement age

    How long does a claim take?

    There are a number of features that can impact how long a claim may take to conclude. These may include the complexity of the case, whether the claim is against an active adviser who disputes liability and whether the claim has to be pursued through the Courts or through the Financial Ombudsman Service (‘FOS’) or Financial Services Compensation Scheme (‘FSCS’).

     

    As Liberty SIPP has been declared in default, many claims can now be pursued through the FSCS directly. The FSCS claims process is relatively straightforward and we would generally expect the case to be concluded within 6 months.

    How much will a claim cost?

    We operate on a Damages Based Agreement (“DBA”) more commonly known as a ‘no-win, no-fee’ agreement.

    If we fail to secure you a settlement, you will not be charged.

    How much compensation will I receive?

    If you have a viable claim, then you will be able to recover compensation equivalent to the losses that you suffered.

    In addition, you may also be able to recover the charges that Liberty SIPP and/or your financial advisor deducted from your account.

    By way of illustration, if you lost £10,000 then you will receive £10,000* in compensation. (*minus Oakwood Solicitors Ltd‘s fees)

    What do I do now?

    Provide us with some information about your pension transfer and we will advise you if you have a viable claim. There is absolutely no obligation to proceed. You can provide information or get in touch by:
