Claiming damages for missed or exposed pension data
Anyone who has lost control of their personal information as a result of misuse or exposed pension data could be eligible to pursue a No Win, No Fee privacy claim for compensation.
It goes without saying that exposed pension data could put victims at significant risk of fraud and theft if criminals attempt to misuse the information that they may have access to. In worst-case scenarios, pension money could be stolen from accounts, so it is important that protections are in place and advice is issued for anyone whose information may have been exposed.
If there is even a risk that your information could be misused as a result of such a situation, you could be eligible to pursue compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of your personal information. Our average compensation settlement is just over £6,000 in damages for mainly individual clients, and the majority of those are just for distress alone. However, if there have been any financial losses or expenses that have been incurred, these can also be considered as part of a case.

Recent Capita cyberattack – pension data may have been involved
The recent Capita cyberattack has received a great deal of media coverage owing to the size of the organisation and its position as a key outsourcer of civil service matters. Previously, it was not yet known what information may have been misused to expose as a result of the Capita cyberattack, but it appears that new information suggested that warnings need to be issued.
It is understood that Capita has been issuing notifications to some pensions customers to inform them that their data may have been accessed. Whilst it is not yet completely clear to us about the extent or nature of any information involved, it is often the case that any exposed pension data could cause significant risks of distress and loss to the victim.
