Is there a time limit for making a claim?

Yes. Strict legal time limits apply, and they vary depending on the type of claim and when you became aware of the issue. Because these deadlines can pass quickly, we always recommend getting in touch as soon as possible so the panel can advise on your specific position.

How much does it cost?

Your initial assessment with us is completely free and carries no obligation. Where your case proceeds, many of our panel firms offer No Win, No Fee arrangements, meaning you typically pay nothing unless your claim succeeds. Any fees and the terms that apply will always be explained clearly and in writing by your solicitor before you commit.

Can I claim for a mis-sold pension or SIPP?

Often, yes. If you were advised to transfer a final-salary, workplace or personal pension into a SIPP holding high-risk or unregulated investments — frequently after a "free pension review" or cold call — you may have grounds for a claim, even if the adviser is no longer trading. Redress can be pursued via the courts, the Financial Ombudsman Service or the FSCS depending on your circumstances.

Can I recover money lost to a crypto or trading scam?

Frequently, yes. Even where the scammer cannot be traced, claims are often pursued against the banks or payment providers that allowed the transfers, alongside specialist blockchain tracing. The sooner you act, the stronger your prospects, so please get in touch quickly.

What happens to my personal information?

Your information is encrypted, stored securely, and handled in strict confidence in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We only share your details with a panel solicitor where you have consented to an introduction, and we never sell your data to unrelated third parties.

What is your relationship to the solicitors?

Investment Reclaim UK is a claims introduction service. We review enquiries and, where appropriate, introduce you to an SRA-regulated solicitor from a vetted panel, who gives the legal advice. We may receive a fee from the firm for that introduction. It does not increase what you pay.

How long does a claim usually take?

Every case is different. Straightforward claims can resolve in a matter of months, while complex or contested matters and group actions can take longer. Your matched solicitor will give you a realistic, honest timescale once they have reviewed the details of your case.

My scheme is not on your list — can you still help?

Almost certainly. The schemes shown are examples of the cases our panel handles most often, but they specialise in high-risk and mis-sold investments generally — including UCIS, mini-bonds and storage schemes. Submit your details and we will let you know whether we can assist.
