Prudential anounced on Tuesay 9 May they are introducing a 6 month deadline for complaints about mis-sold endowments.110 000 could be affected.
However there was recent courtcase brought by Friends Provident policyholder, who had earlier set a cut off point. The client won £1 500 in compensation although because the hearing took place in a county court, it will not create a legal precedent.
