Whilst the FSCS initially stated that they did not believe there was a protected claim, they have now confirmed that they reviewed new evidence and decided that the EAC can be protected!
The EAC is intended to cover costs, including the costs for customers to transfer to other regulated companies where possible, until Hartley’s administration has concluded.
This is good news for all clients who were worried that they would have to pay fees and charges without a way to recovery.
Hartley SIPP Charges
Generally speaking, Hartley’s clients have not been best pleased with the services of the SIPP provider or the administrators – which is understandable.
Whilst people with good-performing investments may have encountered issues like being unable to access their funds, transfer out or receive annual statements, larger numbers of clients ceased to receive annual statements or valuations once their pension value reduced to £5000 or less, many years ago, leaving them completely in the dark in regards to what was happening with their pension pot.
Yet, all are being charged annual fees for a non-existent service and the mess others have left behind.
Hartley’s administration team has been overwhelmed and has been struggling with huge backlogs in providing information to clients, the FSCS as well as solicitors or CMC’s for over 2 years.
We hope that all clients, but especially people whose original SIPP was with either the Lifetime SIPP, Guinness Mahon, Greyfriars, Berkeley Burke or the GPC SIPP (Guardian Pension Consultants) can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as fees can be recovered – and they no longer have to engage in a battle against the administrators.
