Background
A client invested £75,000 into an alternative investment opportunity after being introduced to the scheme through a professional contact.
The investment initially appeared to be progressing as expected. However, the investor later experienced difficulties obtaining information and receiving expected payments.
The Problem
The investor had made multiple payments and had correspondence with several representatives of the investment business.
BJM Recovery's Role
The documentation was reviewed and organised into a chronological case file.
The investigation considered:
- Initial introduction
- Investment documentation
- Bank payments
- Emails
- Representations made to the investor
- Communications following the investment
- Information concerning the companies involved
Outcome
The investor ultimately recovered £61,500.

Case studies are presented for demonstration purposes and are illustrative of the types of matters a specialist recovery team may be asked to investigate. Every investment recovery matter is assessed individually. The circumstances of the investment, the available evidence, the parties involved and the applicable recovery process will determine the appropriate course of action.
