I was mis-sold a FSAVC

I was mis-sold a FSAVC. I found Greg Vaughan Financial Services who specialise in resolving these matters. This was resolved with a very positive outcome. I dealt with Greg from an initial enquiry to it's conclusion. Every question I asked was answered clearly and promptly. Emails answered within a few hours. The advice and guidance was invaluable, and without this brilliant service, I'm sure the result would have looked completely different. Would most definitely recommend.

Great advice given on a pension mis-selling enquiry.

Thanks to Greg Vaughn for the very helpful advice he recently gave me with regard to my enquiry about a possibly mis-sold pension plan. I already thought I probably didn't have a winnable case, and he confirmed that he thought my case was unlikely, though not impossible, to be successful, and went through the reasons for this in great detail. He clearly has a very comprehensive knowledge of public sector pension schemes and associated issues. This really helped me to make a sensible decision, and saved me wasting time and emotional energy on pursuing the matter. I really appreciated Greg's prompt response (within one day) to my long email, and his friendly, sympathetic and approach to my query. I would highly recommend him.

Just had a exceptional experience with greg about an investment I consider I’ve been miss sold.
Refreshing that he explained based on the information I gave him my claim would not be successful and his advice was to forget it.
He could have given me advice that would have put me in a different situation and him financially better of.
I would consider Greg to throughly honest and trustworthy and no I’m not his dad

A successful FSAVC Claim

I was extremely happy to receive a successful claim with the help of this service.
Communication was exemplary, always professional, personable and prompt. The initial outline of aims, procedures and costs was accurate. Liaison with other parties was efficiently undertaken and took the stress out of dealing with them myself and reflected the experience of dealing with such claims by this service.

Honest expert!

Greg was great in helping me decide whether it was worth making a claim for a mis-sold FSAVC. He spent a full day asking for details of my experience, paperwork etc, and although in the end I didn't proceed with a claim, his honest, clear and helpful expertise and advice saved me from embarking on a lengthy and probably fruitless task. I would have complete confidence in recommending him to anyone.

Thanks Kim for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. I'm sorry my conclusion was you were not a victim of mis-selling, but I hope I've put your mind at rest at least.

Feedback

It just remains for me to say thank-you for a successful resolution. Certainly the amount is significantly more than I imagined might have been involved, however the manner in which you’ve dealt with the case I feel has been exemplary, lots of clear communication and explanation along the way especially when there were periods where progress seemed slow, very professional throughout.

Greg Vaughan Financial Services Does it Again!

My wife and I can firmly endorse Mr Greg Vaughan! He has recently worked over a period just on a year relentlessly pursuing our individual claims that we were missold FSAVCs back in the 1980s. His efforts to on our behalf secured a redress of considerable proportions far in excess of what the insurance company was prepared to offer. He took the matter further and appealed to the financial ombudsman who found in our favour.
His communications are excellent and his fee is very fair. We can thoroughly recommend Greg Vaughan Financial Services.

Thanks so much, Chris, for your most kind testimonial. To achieve a final compensation payout for you and Alison that was 9 times the size of the original settlement offer was extremely satisfying, to say the least! With very best wishes, Greg.

Removed the Stress of Making a Financial Services Claim

I contacted Greg after I began to suspect that I was mis-sold a FSAVC in the early 1990s by General Portfolio. I provided Greg a few details and he advised it was worth further investigation.

Greg handled the rest, and I left everything in his hands. Where a decision needed to be made, Greg laid out the pros and cons of each option, but left the decision to me.

Greg stuck with the case, even though it took over two years to resolve (delays were due to my pension scheme administrators and the length of time it took the loss adjusters to calculate my compensation).

The outcome was that I was received a large sum as compensation without having any stress of trying to handle it myself. All handled in a friendly yet professional manner by Greg. So, I would definitely recommend Greg.

Professional support with a positive ending.

From the outset, I was impressed with how professional Greg was. He, very patiently, took me through a very difficult situation, fully supporting me with some quite complicated form-filling and tricky questions.
Communication from Greg was second to none, so I was kept fully in the picture & knew, at every stage, how my claim was progressing
Great level of knowledge of the financial sector, including the pros & cons of going to the Ombudsmen.
A pleasure to work with.
I would recommend wholeheartedly.
I couldn't have got through my claim without him.

Great service and a great result.

I was Initially a little dubious that anyone would be able to make a successful case for me but Greg certainly did. He pointed out that I should have been advised to invest more in my Civil Service pension than in a FSAVC. The outcome has been to get me a substantial payment plus an additional compensation from the pension provider for the length of time it had taken them. I was very impressed with the service from Greg and would certainly recommend him to anyone else who thinks they may have a case.

First class service

I would have no hesitation in recommending Greg Vaughan FS. The whole process from start to finish was very professional but also with a personal touch. I was kept informed on progress throughout my claim (mis-sold pension) with very clear advice and explanations. I was more than happy with the final settlement from the insurance company.

Very professional service

Greg dealt with my FSAVC issue very professionally. I submitted the original policy documents and completed a straightforward questionnaire and the process was subsequently handled by Greg who obtained a maximum payout for me. The whole process took nearly 12 months, but I was delighted with the outcome.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback and I'm delighted you were pleased with the outcome. It is always particularly gratifying for me to put right some of the appalling advice given to doctors in the 1990s.

Excellent service- strongly recommended *****

Excellent service, including regular communication with myself and continuous feedback on the appeal. Greg was prompt in replying to my queries and made the whole process easy from my perspective. I had stored all the neccessary copies of the documents regarding the sale of the FSAVC from the initial sale date which assisted the process I'm sure, and Greg made excellent use of these to assist with the appeal. The redress (compensation) amount far exceeded what I had anticipated and I would strongly advise that anyone who has ever taken out a FSAVC contact Greg, who, incidentally had the lowest fee I found on the internet!

Thanks Andrew for your very kind feedback. I'm delighted you are pleased with the outcome to your case - and the fee for the work! I too have seen fees more than double my own; I consider that to be unethical and unjustified frankly. With very best wishes, Greg

Greg was honest from the beginning

Greg was honest from the beginning, giving us a realistic value for the compensation we may be entitled to. He dealt with all matters promptly and kept us fully informed at all times. The resulting compensation was as he had estimated at the beginning. He made the whole process painless and stress free. Many thanks
