Can I claim endowment compensation?

Most people who took out an endowment mortgage expected that at the end of their mortgage term, they would be able to clear their loan and have thousands of pounds left over.

Sadly, the majority are now facing the harsh reality that there won't even be enough cash to pay off their debt.

This is because these stock market-linked investment policies, which are used as the repayment vehicle for this kind of interest-only mortgage, have not risen in value nearly as much as was hoped.

(For more on this, read What went wrong with endowment mortgages? and How to make up an endowment shortfall.)

The good news

More than 600,000 policyholders have since claimed compensation on the basis that they were mis-sold.

As a result, they are around £1 billion better off.

If you're facing a shortfall, it would be well worth checking whether you might have grounds for a claim.

If successful, you won't be handed all the extra money you hoped to get from your endowment.

But you should receive enough to put you in the position you would have been now if you'd been properly advised.

The bad news

It isn't enough to have grounds to claim that you are a victim of mis-selling.

You also have to lodge your claim within the time limit miss this and your chance of compensation is gone.

For an explanation of the deadline for lodging a mis-selling claim, read Am I too late for endowment compensation?
