Mis sold pension redress

In my teens I was advised to leave my employer pension for a private pension. Now in my 50's, the private pension company has admitted it mis sold me the pension and has offered me 6 figure tax free redress in full settlement. The numbers make PPI look like chicken feed! I don't know who to talk to about this. They themselves have advised me to seek independent advice but who should I speak to? Can anyone assist/advise?

    An independent financial adviser.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
