disappearing mortgage broker

Options
Hi
I am wondering if anyone can help. Ive tried to claim back my shortfall for endownment policy that matured a few years ago and apparently you can still claim the shortfall.
The FSCS has been trying the find my mortgage broker, they have not gone into liquidation or declared themselves bankrupt!!!! but the have just disappeared off the face of the earth. I have been informed that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the directors of the company but if I can find them I can persue the case again.
Has anyone come across this before and has anyone got any advice on how to find where they are??
I would appreciate your help in this matter

    Have you searched them at the Companies House website https://www.companieshouse.gov.uk ?

    Why not ask the insurance company for the name and address of the agent they were paying the commission to.

    Another method is to go onto the FSA register at www.fsa.gov.uk and do a search on there.
