I'd also advise reading the posts about who reads these forums, and think whether this may be better kept private.
I was just about to reply to Fergie’s post before it was taken down (I understand why it’s been taken down) … I’ve done months and months of research and drawn up a defence file that is almost verbatim … at least there is some continuity in terms of thinking.

To be fair, a lot of the credit for my list goes to the nuggets you've been dropping from time to time, which pointed me in the right direction.
 
Have you contacted the FCA with your findings?
Noy yet, My plan is to do this after the 14th.

Hopefully I get a reply from IOM fair trading tomorrow with all the questions I want answering.

I have the CCA request outstanding with Trethowans that they need to reply to by the 14th(not expecting the reply)

I got in touch with the FCA some time ago … they thanked me for the info and said they won’t share any outcomes with me so I thought that would be the end of it, however, they were keen for more detailed information a few weeks later which I’ve shared. I’m not going to read too much into it but I’ll take the positives.

I did get a response from the IoM OFT and they were quite helpful so hopefully they provide the clarity you’re looking for.

Feel free to DM me if you want to know what I asked and how they responded.

Makes me wonder, did the FCA reply to you because they have started the validation order, or because of the Letter of claim said one may be required. Then again it could be gaining traction through a number of complaints against them.

I was thinking they may not bother with the validation order, I bet it would cost 10's of thousands to go through the process and unlikely to get a favourable outcome.

I’ve not been directly told about whether the validation claim has commenced and I’m not sure if it’s something they will divulge but no harm in asking.

What I have noticed is that the replies to the several FCA emails I’ve sent always say they have been shared with the appropriate department.
 
Totally different thing here, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who has noticed that on Trustpilot, Trethowans have been replying to the positive reviews, but completely ignoring the negative ones.

It's got to be a source of annoyance that these negative reviews are starting to appear. I urge everyone impacted to leave a review, but make it factual and unemotional, as rants will end up being removed.

Basically, if you're impacted by this then leave a factual review.

no validation order - no money for these monkeys, and that is an insult to monkeys
