How to complain if you’ve been mis-sold

If you want to complain, act quickly – you have more options if you complain within three years of noticing something was wrong or six years of being sold the product. It’s a good idea to gather any paperwork you have before you start.

If the firm has gone out of business

If you think you’ve been sold a product that wasn’t suitable but the firm responsible has gone bust, all is not lost. You might be able to get something back through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
