"Always kept me informed from the…"

Always kept me informed from the beginning, even though it was a long process and at times I wasn't sure I'd get anything back, they carried on pursuing the claim, I personally wouldn't have known where to start in pursuing my claim, so they were worth every penny in what they charged and I was more than happy with the amounts I got back.
So thankyou APJ Solicitors for everything you did.

"After 4 years APJ settled my claim"

After 4 years APJ settled my claim, however their fee’s were more than I received, then there was Vat and the £5600 ATE, plus charging me to transfer the money, I ended up with less than a quarter of my total FSCS award. To sum up and because of this lot, I’m £20k out of pocket.

They say they are working for their clients but actually it’s all about getting as much money as possible for the law firms partners

Avoid at all costs

"Professional but spineless! "

So APJ were engaged to try to recover my pension fund which was transferred to STM Fidecs in Gibraltar in 2014. They only got involved in about mid 2021 (this saga is very long winded!). They are a professional company, but I think they were desperate for business at the time. I say this because it was alleged by another party, and although they did manage to recover some money from STM (approximately 50%) they basically rolled over on their backs when STM refused their counter-offer, as if afraid they would end up with no settlement at all. On top of this their fees were an eye watering 40% plus VAT as well as £5600 for After The Event insurance which they strongly advised me to take out. The upshot of this was that I ended up with roughly 12% of my lost pension and APJ actually received more than I did. Seems very unfair. On a more positive note, they did all the legwork in getting a maximum compensation payment from FSCS, although again they charged 30% plus vat. Because of this I cannot recommend APJ as I consider their fees to be on the greedy side. I have ended up with about half of what I was scammed out of.

"Pension transfer"

Please take into account that after 30% fees plus 20%vat, ate insurance of £5600 and sundries you are left with a fraction of the compensation awarded.
It was a very long process with very little gain and leaves a bad taste in your mouth!

"Dont use APJ Solicitors not reliable and will charge you the earth."

I originally instructed APJ on 18/08/2020 regarding my concerns about Hargreaves Lansdown not advising me in time about the Woodford funds collapse to enable me to remove and transfer my funds so to minimize my losses which HL refused to do. I sent an internal email to HL as APJ were not addressing what I had requested them to do, but had gone down the miss selling route from my previous investors which was certainly not what my claim was about.
It was not until both myself and the FOS sent correspondence to HL did my case get back on track and confirm this was just about my Woodfunds and nothing to do with miss selling as APJ had originally claimed.
I was also advised by APJ to take out an after the evnt insurance costing me out of my compensation over £2k which was never needed and APJ would not refund this amount. They also insisted that the compensation eventually agreed with HL was sent direct to them so they could take all their fees and other costs before paying what was left to myself with was only just over 50%. This was despite HL advising that the compensation should be paid direct to myself in one of my existing HL accounts.
The invoice that they submitted to myself was not of the quality you would expect and I had to question each line item what each cost was actually for.

"Really Annoyed My Emails are not responded to!"

I was contacted by APJ to transfer my claim for Mis-sold SIPP to APJ and the matter would be resolved in 12 to 15 weeks! However, six years on I was advised that in view of the fact that one piece of paper was missing, others had been fully paid out and I was sure to be fully paid out. Two weeks later I was paid £2700 less 30% plus VAT! I am over £30K out of pocket and now I am being completely ignored. I shall be reporting the organisation to the FSCS as each time I received correspondence from FSCS it was to ask if my claim was active as APJ had not been active in arranging a claim!

"Poor advice given and poor representation"

Had spent time explaining my complaint to APJ but still had to correct a draft which was to be sent to the Ombudsman. I still don't think they got it right as the Ombudsman phoned me for clarification. I clearly and concisely explained my complaint to him but even so his decision still said he was confused-maybe the horses mouth wasn't good enough. I am then told I could appeal the decision but next day was told I couldn't. Gave up in the end as I didn't think competent people were forceful enough or could put pen to paper explaining my complaint. Wouldn't use them again if I needed to

"APJ obtained a significant 'refund' of…"

APJ obtained a significant 'refund' of my mis-sold SIPPS investment. There is still a larger proportion outstanding which they are continuing to work on. It's not easy because numerous companies were created and dissolved in order to hide behind. I'd be surprised if APJ can get any further, but they haven't given up.

"APJ ARE FANTASTIC"

APJ have been sorting out a miss sold pension for me. It’s been done on a no win no fee basis and they have done a fantastic job they have kept me informed the whole way through and won my case for me recovering all of my money. If you need this sort of help these are the solicitors you need
