Had no idea it was a Click and Collect shop so didn't put the ECP code on and the parcel was rejected and returned to me. I get that…

Blackmore Bonds collapse
So the FCA has sat as judge and jury on its own performance and decided that it was not at fault in not warning investors before the Blackmore Bond collapse and they are not due compensation.
