FSA
Hi YHB
The scheme shouldn't have been set up in the first place, yes it was unauthorised which has been the conclusion as a result of discussions with the FSA and lawyers. I'd already closed the scheme about 4 weeks before the FSA froze it, they then go to the High Court...that's not my option. The funds were paid offered over to them in March last year, eventually taken and put in the hands of the FSA in August 2009. The legalities have meant a lot of correspondence between the FSA and our solicitors. Since then they've been establishing and confirming who put in what then reconciling to our records. It seems to have taken quite some time to get to the point of payments being made....in the meantime, every effort is being made to make up any deficit which is why pursuing the third party, when this is recovered the fund will be showing a profit rather than a deficit. This is being done at my own cost and without assistance from the FSA. I'm not absolving myself from blame, holding hands up and trying to put it right which is the stance have held right from the beginning.
