FSA cancels two brokers’ permissions over unpaid fees
Share
The Financial Services Authority has cancelled the permission of Select Mortgage Services (Bracknell).
The FSA says Select has failed to pay fees and levies of £1,675.52 owed to the FSA, despite repeated requests to do so.
In its final notice to Select, the FSA, says: “This failing, which is significant in the context of Select’s suitability, leads the FSA to conclude that Select is not conducting its business soundly and prudently and in compliance with proper standards and that Select is not a fit and proper person, and that it is therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which Select had a Part IV permission.”
The regulator has also cancelled the permission of Kevin Jonathan Dalglish trading as Dulwich Insurance Services.
Dalglish failed to pay fees and levies of £1,280.33 owed to the regulator. He has also had his Part IV permission cancelled.

Isn't it just this kind of razor sharp reasoning and verbal diarrhoea that caused all the problems in the first place. Under the circumstances, isn't it more likely in the abscence of other evidence that they just gave up trading. Why then rub salt in to the wounds with the "is not conducting its business soundly and prudently and in compliance with proper standards and that Select is not a fit and proper person". Talk about kicking someone when they are down! This must be why we love our regulator so much.

So what does that make the Bank Directors and the FSA who had to be bailed out as they were unable to meet their financial commitments? Those comments posted in the public domaine seemt to be " False & misleading.but I suspect you guys in the industry will, as usual do nothing, just snipe from a safe distance.

Why are you defending these people? Fair enough they walked away from the industry, but they had responsibilities to do this in a professional manner. If we all just wandered away from something we no longer liked or wanted to be involved in, things would be in a mess. The FSA was right to do . Deal with it people whoever the regulator is you're not gonna like, but regulation is a fact of life. Acting unprofessionally because you don't like your boss is shameful.

The FSA is a sign of an over-regulated country, providing non-jobs within a parasitic company, feeding off the real workers. (Brokers)
These regulatory bodies remind me of the EU! What could be a bigger insult?

When we tried to de-register, it took the FSA over a year to acknowledge that we actually wanted to leave the industry. The comparison with the EU is very apt. Overpaid, unaccountable and not fit for purpose. Yes, regulation is a fact or life but the people who pay the fees should be treated with a degree of respect
