Old MCCB reference?

Hi all

I'm trying to track down a company using its  Mortgage Code Compliance Board reference number.

I've asked Mr Google without success. Anyone know how to do a 'reverse lookup' 

Ta lots.

    No idea, no.

    The MCCB was replaced in 2004. Have you tried finding the firm on the FCA Register;-

    Yes, all they could offer was "looks like a good MCCB number"!

    Nope, just a single word title! That's why (I think) if there was a way of accessing the MCCB register, I can fill in the blanks.

    I do not know why you are attempting to track this code but if in connection with some kind of complaint or redress you are probably wasting your time.

    MCCB is pre regulation.
