Have also just sent the link to my MP.
This gruesome story of gross incompetence from the FCA, being complicit in destroying our invested savings, needs a lot more oxygen.

I had already written to my MP and received a reply from him and the Treasury Committee. I have now sent the link to request a follow up.

Can't see MPs getting very excited over this one at the moment with the much larger Woodford collapse hitting the headlines. Collateral investors are a phlegmatic lot but Woodford's customers will be squealing loud and long about 'safe' investments 'recommended' by Hargreaves Lansdowne. Their squeals will get louder and louder as they come to realise that their Administrators are going to go after every pound of flesh and then some that they now have under their control. Maybe self-invested pensions are not such a good idea?

Maybe/hopefully, the FCA will consider COLL minor enough to placate us with Compensation? Certainly, it wouldn't cost 'em much?
I agree though, COLL Lenders may well get drowned out by the Clamouring Mongolian Hordes.
So we just SHOUT LOUDER, you know, PUNCH ABOVE OUR WEIGHT. 💪 😉

I agree though, COLL Lenders may well get drowned out by the Clamouring Mongolian Hordes. So we just SHOUT LOUDER, you know, PUNCH ABOVE OUR WEIGHT. 💪 😉 When BDO eventually finish their job - that's after stripping the carcass - after all, how long has it been now? Early 2018 for a relatively smallish wind down. And yes, I know the justifications about the computer system, etc but hold on a minute, BDO were or are meant to be 'experts' so no doubt they would have come across this scenario in the past with other assignments surely.
In my eyes, the whole thing stinks in addition to the shenanigans of the previous owners. So we'll be lucky to get a few pennies in the pound back.
The FCA, you know, that mob sitting behind a shiny office in London drawing fat salaries, will decide to can-kick our protestations by having a nice long winded enquiry which may point the finger at a few FCA shortcomings with recommendations but, and it's a big but in my book, any compensation will just add a few extra pennies to those we've already received.
Meanwhile, BDO will have moved on to another carcass and the FCA, well there will be a new management in town.
Best thing in my book is simply move on with any future income from this debacle treated as a bonus - like winning £25 on the premium bonds.
I feel sympathy for those who have lost funds they could ill afford to loose in the first place. I feel gratitude to those that a trying to get something done via their MP's. I feel though it's all going to finish up with words and very little action.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, recovering data would have either been impossible or relatively straightforward, there is very little in between - source 25 years as an IT engineer and consultant. The entire thing stinks, it’s something you’d expect to happen in a banana republic not a regulated world financial hub. It disgusts me. I’m set to lose a high 5-figure sum but for my own sanity I’ve written the complete amount off, I hope BDO choke on it.

One day people will wake up and realize that they are living in a banana republic. Or actually something rather worse.
