ClaimExperts view
We are aware that a number of investors have not received their promised returns and some are finding it difficult to get their capital investment repaid to them.
A recent news paper investigation has revealed that the property group borrowed an estimated £600 million via investors pensions (SIPPS).
The investigation revealed that some pension holders were advised by unregulated salesmen working for separate companies. These sales people were paid up to 20% commission at the time and were advising clients they would double their money but were not told of the levels of risk.
