    If you were advised to invest by an FCA-regulated adviser, complain to them that the investment was unsuitable.

    If not, complain to Berkley Berk that they failed to do due diligence on the store pods.

    Whichever you complain to, if they fail to compensate you, proceed to the Financial Ombudsman and/or the FSCS if needed.

    Numerous people have been awarded compensation by the FOS on both bases.

    What happens if the IFA is not longer trading?


    Complain to the people who have since been looking after the investment? And then Financial Ombudsman and/or the FSCS?


    Thanks in advance.

    You dont have access to the FOS. You go to the FSCS straight off.

    Not sure who has already been contacted. As I am helping a friend with this by passing on info. And I know they contacted someone who then tried to contact the IFA. Hence why we found out no longer trading.


    I will let my friend know.


    Yours

    They are operating the same fraud recovery fraud on Park First investors. What kind of Dubai investment company wants to buy both worthless storage sheds and worthless car parking spaces in the North of England and Scotland?

    A Park First investor has confirmed that if you contact GRL Group, they will demand "legal fees" upfront which will supposedly "be returned following the successful sale". Needless to say if you fall for this you will never see this money again.

    if you used a regulated financial adviser, then you complain to the adviser. If you didn't then you can complain that the SIPP provider allowed you to buy an unsuitable asset. That probably won't work but in rare cases it does.

    You don't just get your money back by making a bed decision.
