how do I claim for my standard life endowment shortfall

basically, I want to know whether it's better to do it myself or ask a firm to do it. I know you have to pay for their services, but would a firm get better results? also, if I was to claim myself, where is the best place to get advice?
any ideas would be gratefully appreciated

    Er, you can't claim for a shortfall. You can claim for misselling if you believe that the endowment was missold to you i.e. you were not told that it might not pay off the mortgage.

    I pursued my mis-selling claim myself (fortunately I had not heard of the firms that do it for you) and found it reasonably straightforward. And worth doing.

    The Which? web-site (Click Here) has some guidance as does the FSA website.

    And I've just found Martin's thread: Here
    Not even wrong
