I know of others too whereby they have tried to complain to the lender as the broker is outside the jurisdiction of the FOS but FOS has thrown the complaints out. Also people have written to the FSA about issues like this and they have not directed them anywhere other than the courts...
The FOS will only deal with complaints on the merits of the complaint itself, where you to provide the FOS with copies of your Policy Documents, especially if it states that the lender is acting as the intermediary then you will be providing proof, the complaint will then go ahead and then it is up to the Lender to provide proof to the contrary.
You have to understand the FOS is funded by the lenders, and if you just send a letter without so much as an argument as to why the lender is responsible then they cant decide that for you without a case, if so then this would be prejudicial to the lender.
When writing to the FOS you must state your case clearly and precisely, argue every point that the lender has hit back at you and where possible back it up with evidence.
I can give you an example, but can not name the companies in question due to having to sign and NDA.
Last year I complained against a loan company, reference a ppi policy. The loan company referred me to the broker, so letter off to the FOS stating that I was misold the policy and the lender wont refund (basically)
The FOS replied stating that the lender has referred me to the broker and I must therefore puruse the broker, but I was free to file a complaint again. The broker, did not exist anymore.
Back to the FOS, and the case was rejected, because the broker did not exist and the broker was not a member of any regulatory body.
At the time I was so p**ed off I never really read between the lines of the FOS decision.
I went to a lawyer, the lawyer then contacted the lender and the lender came back with the same response. However a new case was filed with the FOS, including all contracts and policies and quoting things like "The Law of Agency", as the FOS person dealing with the complaint had no exposure to such laws or arguments it was referred to an adjudicator..
The adjudicator upheld the complaint, and ordered the lender to put my account back to a position it was were I not to have taken the ppi. I was also awared £400 in damages. The lender paid up and offered £600 on top of damages were I to sign an NDA, which I did.
You can imagine as to why I had to sign an NDA..
It took until late december to get the response..
Now I am fighting the same case with Firstplus, but my own dumb greed at christmas can't let me refer to the previous decision.0 -

Hi there
I am in the same postion in a way here, the broker (Click XXXXXXX) dissolved, yet the director continued with the other loan companies he ran, but I could not pursue through them due to that actual company had dissolved.
I was being passed back and forth more or less from broker to lender sort of thing, when I say that, the compliance manager of the existing Click is the one I contacting to try to sort this out.
This was taken out in July 2004 and both broker and lender were NOT covered then.The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -
You will note that even on the FOS website it states that they would prefer you to submit the complaint yourself in your own words and not use a claims company or solicitor.0

You did really well here mind with the undisclosed one glad you beat them in the end and got FOS to uphold it, FOS wouldn't look at my complaint because Freedom Finance (broker) were not regulated but Firstplus (provider) were part of the GISC. I was foaming.:wave:0 -
