Financial claims management firm Brunel Franklin has announced that it is resigning from the Claims Standards Council and forming its own code instead.
Sally Bowyer, managing director of Brunel Franklin, says: “For some time we have been working in partnership with an select group of respected and professional financial CMCs to put together a voluntary code of practice. We will be making a formal announcement shortly, about an exciting new initiative that actively encourages best practice for professional financial CMCs.”
She adds: “Brunel Franklin and its like-minded partners remain totally committed to best practice and to promoting the highest level of ethics and professional conduct in the industry.”

Joke number 1 anon 4:31 people stood by and watched their clients get ripped of by the banks selling ppi that could never be claimed on. They only took clients for several billion pounds. O well bet your clients who you never told had worthless policies and paid thousands for them are laughing their socks off that you never told them their policy would never payout. They must think you are very professional making the decision not to tell the client in case the banks told you you could no longer forward mortgage applications to them.

"Daz" I'm not condoning the actual mis-selling of policies. I'm referring to the Claim Firms who send out standard letters with no regards to finding out if a policy existed and forwarding these "complaints" on to the FOS as a matter of course. There are plenty of other posts on similar stories that talk about this.

Anon & Daz 31/8 & 1/9 this is exactly why High Street Banks and FSA get away with their scheme to keep their own nests feathered while all the little guys get left out in the cold. I am sure I have said this before, we should not be fighting each other, most Brokers are Professional, honest, decent people and most CMC's are professional, honest, decent people and we thing we should all have in common is we serve and advise our clients and look after their best interests.
So we all have a lot in common, while the Banks and FSA are unprofessional, dishonest and, certainly at the top, do not have a shred of decency so we have to protect our clients from these people, we should be together on this and not fighting each other.
Those in positions of power just sit back and enjoy these spats as it helps them to DIVIDE & RULE.
