I cannot tell you how awful I felt when I realised that all of my pension savings had been lost in an overseas property deal. It was a deal that was high risk and totally inappropriate for me – I should have been advised against it by the financial people I dealt with but I was not. Instead I was left feeling stupid, ashamed and very few people were willing to help. I’d already started to process a small claim with the FCSC on my own (extremely hard & stressful work) and thought that was all I would get, certainly only a small fraction of what I’d lost. When I first contacted Cordula at ACL Consulting I doubted that I would get any more money back but she assured me that it was possible and she acted quickly on my behalf to ensure my claim went through within the deadline. Last week she called to let me know that the FSCS had completed my claim. In total I have received nearly £120,000 compensation. My initial claim made on my own was for £43,000 so Cordula and ACL have won me an additional £77,000 compensation. I am truly delighted with this. However, I am even more delighted with the kindness, compassion and understanding I’ve received from Cordula throughout this whole process. She made me realise that I wasn’t stupid, she took an interest in me and listened to my concerns and fears. Yes, this is ACL’s business but Cordula has a passion to support people like me and put right these morally indefensible acts that take money from the unsuspecting. If you are in a similar situation having Cordula working for you is the best thing you can do, not only for your bank balance but for your sanity too!
