Written Question
Wednesday 12th September 2018
Asked by:
Bill Grant (Conservative - Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what support is available for people who sustained losses as a result of misleading selling of Integrity Cash Maximiser products.
Answered by John Glen
The independent financial services regulator - the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – is responsible for the regulations in place to protect customers in their dealings with financial services firms. It requires firms to treat their customers fairly and has broad and robust powers to enforce breaches of its rules.
If consumers have a complaint about a regulated financial service, they may be able to take their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The FOS was established to provide for the proportionate, prompt and informal resolution of cases and is designed to be an alternative to resolution of cases through the courts.
