    Their offices are down the road from where I work, so if they take your money i will go over and have a word  :p
    The offices of Chetwood Financial Ltd? Who are, as several people have confirmed, a completely legit firm.
    Or the offices of the (alleged) possible scammers 'Chetwood Financial Services'? 
    I'd be surprised if you know where the scammers office is. 
    Chetwood Financial Ltd are next door to me, yes. Chetwood are a Fintech company who have an APP which you download and you manage your money entirely through the APP. ( i guess for millennials who spend all their time on phones). I am old fashioned and use a website :-:wink:
    No idea who Chetwood Financial Services are.

    So their (the scammers') offices aren't down the road from you after all....
  • In FCA what does partial permissions mean we made transfer to Chetwood for the high save rate it has been reversed maybe by our bank. We choose this as a Money expert recommendation we also checked FCA it was gobble gook to us
  • I tried sending investment my Bank wouldn’t process as payment Chetwood  Bank details didn’t stack up this suggests failure by MOney Expert and FCA

    If it was gobbledegook to you - why on earth were you trying to send them money? 

    If you read the thread above it appears there are two similarly named companies. A real one and a clone (scam) one. Are you sure you were trying to send money to the right one?

    As people suggested there is indeed an ongoing clone scam which the FCA is aware of:

    If I write an article saying that Rolex watches are brilliant and you go out and buy a fake Rolex watch, that's not my failure. Or that of Trading Standards.
