With 10 claims against them, Hertfordshire based A+ Financial Services Limited (present trading styles, Grosvenor Trust & Saving and A-plus) liquidated in October 2018, defaults after 20 years in business. The firm was incorporated in January 2002 and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) until October 2020.

Stephen Grail (a director of the firm) was jailed for 5 years in February, after being convicted for abuse of position, theft, obtaining property by deception and fraud. The stolen amount estimated around £1.65 million, accumulated between 1997 and 2018, starting 5 years before A+ Financial Services Limited was incorporated. The stolen funds were used to maintain a failing business and personal lifestyle choices.

For 20 years Grail operated a ponzi scheme (type of fraud – luring new investors, which pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors), claiming funds were being invested in pensions and investment bonds. The crime was covered up by providing victims with false documentation to support investments made and rising level of investments. Any investments that were actually made, were later on maturity, moved into Grail`s own accounts.

Some kind words from our respected clients

“You have proved I was miss advised”

You have proved I was miss advised, regarding my mis-sold pension, I am very happy with the outcome, your payment was a bit expensive, however, I realise everyone has to make a living. I did not think that the amount would be so much.
Thank you all for your hard work.

“From the very first moment of dealing…”

From the very first moment of dealing with Elite Chambers, I have been met with nothing but common courtesy, politeness, and Professionalism at all times, especially from Jamie Baker and Jordan Casey. Both these Employees are absolute Assets to the Company. I was kept up to date with every detail and progress through emails and Calls.
I would definately recommend this Company to everyone like myself who was mis sold something.

Thankyou once again Elite Chambers

I received a call from Elite Chambers about a SIPP claim I spoke with Ashley, he was very helpful took a great deal of time in explaining the process and how it would work, Paper to be signed next week so fingers crossed for a positive outcome to this terrible situation.
