  • My guess is that the overall cost of LC's work will be about 10% of the clients assets - so this would be a "loss". So, it would be a problem for retail investors (i.e. you and me) if we have more than £850k of shares (10% of £850k would be on the £85k compo limit).

    Surely you can't be serious! Clients assets and money amount to just over £300 million. I know LC are expensive, but I somehow doubt that even the FCA would countenance a fee £30 million!
  • Makes you think Labour party policy's are correct these city types have no integrity and are out to rob hard working ordinary folk .
    As i said before a group of plumbers more trustworthy .
  • look ALL creditors/clinets in administrations feels, and has done so sinf the begining of time that the administratios or liquiditors charge too much

    But oif we sack Lc and get PwC or KPMG ignoring the delay, we will be charged twice as much

    And they know it

    And FSCS will be paying (most anyway)

    Plus if LC are slooooooow, any new administrator is going to be even slowerrrrrr. They must be through they will tell us

    We need ot keep up th eproessure on the FSA and FSCS. They are supervising the thing and - and this is the most important- they will be handling out other special administrations in the future. New Work.

    Here is THE question. "Who -living person and not a big company - xo client will HAVE UNCOMPENSATED LOSSES?" And why can no one tell us the answer to that figure?

    Like I said Leonard Curtis are milking every single minute here.
    I have told their managers as much - ultra slow and ridiculous fees.
  • Anyone knwo who is on the Creditos Committee? They must approve the fees and the formula for calculating the "allocation" FSCS will compensate.

    There will not be a simple % charge, but a formula depending on assets held and cash held. And there will be losers who will have uncomensated losses. Large companies certainly, but also others where the formula gives them losses of >85k (but nobody says they know who theses people are - which is strange)
  • For those of us who did not or could not go to the meeting, it would be nice if LC could give us some information regarding what went on!
