The pros and cons

Article Abstract:

Investing in a personal equity plan (PEP) is most suitable for those seeking capital growth or income, or a balance of the two, and aiming to obtain a higher yield than if the money were placed in a building society deposit account. The PEP would need to make considerable profit before the benefits of its tax-free environment are felt, as capital gains tax is payable on the first 6,800 pounds sterling of realized gains in the current tax year. The risks with PEPs are basically the same as with any equity-linked investment.

Everybody has the statutory right to see the information kept on their file to ensure that it is correct. There are various procedures for correcting incorrect information. However, correcting errors and omissions does not necessarily mean that you will obtain credit.
