I'd love to know what prompted the FCA to get involved at this point in time... I'm not complaining at all...

I would like to think that it was down to all the hard work and effort of the people in the forum have been putting in - like getting touch with the FCA - telling them what has been going on etc or do you think that a few law firms involved had a hand to play in this??

We may never truly know if we did help... but it would be good to know that we "CAN" make a difference if we fight together...

The battle is not over but we "can" help each other get through this!

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and views on here. It all helps to build a bigger picture.

I believe it was solely the work and effort of those in this forum who contacted the FCA. Feels like we did all the leg work, the time lines align.

The secrecy act that those who have joined the two larger groups does not help. Think about it, it would make all our positions stronger if they posted from time to time to guide us, instead its the opposite....leave you to work out why.

Its been our movement and actions on this forum that has got us where we are.

Totally agree that this forum was priceless for info and togetherness. I hope this will end one day for good for everyone. Just dont get too comfortable yet. Keep fighting! Hug to all x
 
Small observation for anyone following the Trustpilot side of this. The review count on that page has gone down by three in the last day while new ones are still appearing, so some are evidently being removed or withdrawn.
From what's visible, the reviews still standing are the ones that stick to things the writer can show (what was received, when, and what the FCA has published) and keep anything else clearly as opinion. Allegations of crime, "scam", "partners in crime" and the like are the easiest for a business to get taken down.
Also worth knowing: Trustpilot lets businesses send a "Request Information" message to reviewers they don't recognise. Trustpilot's own help pages say replying is optional and doesn't affect whether the review stays up. Anything you send through it goes to the business, so think about what you'd be handing over before you reply.
Not encouraging anyone to post. Just sharing in case it's useful to those who already have.

The scheme organizers and the companies who come along after supposedly to help people out of the mess are 100% symbiotic, in the past theres even been people who went from poachers to gamekeepers and profited twice
 
The upside-down has been upended.

The wicked web is unravelling.

The magic-money-go-roundabout is a bit stuck.
 
I would strongly suggest not to provide your ID or access documents via portal. Ask them to send the documents via post for the records. Atleast thats what i am doing.

The portal is most likely a convenient legal trap for them. Avoid.

The only obvious way to 'force' them to extract data from the portal themselves for our consumption is via a SAR. Which they will then (very probably) refuse for specious reasons. Just send the SAR via the ICO website - then its on record, and sent electronically.
