It's working fine now, so I'll start answering the phone again!

I'm afraid I can't help get annoyed when bureaucracies have a monopoly job to do, and don't do it, especially when that happens in such a way as to waste people's time (ok, my time). There's really no need to have the system down to update the list, if that's what was going on, no need to return empty results rather than "system is down", and no need to have five search pages instead of one. While I'm moaning, a page that helps consumers understand what they should EXPECT to see in the search results would also help (do brokers need to be registered, for what?, etc).0 -
TBH if the site has to be down for maintenance or similar, a Sunday afternoon seems like a decent time to do it.
The register is only supposed to be a check, so you can see the firm is regulated and authorised. It's not really for any other purpose.
If you want to provide feedback to the FCA, I'm sure they would be happy to hear from you. Information is provided by the money advice service on mortgages;-
