Two years ago my frail 84 year old aunt showed me a letter she had received from an Investment Company that she knew nothing about and couldn't understand. With considerable embarrassment and shame she admitted that some years ago she had invested a substantial sum of money with a discredited and now disbarred IFA. She asked if I could find out about her investment. After a few vague, jargon laden and ultimately uninformative letters from this company, I realised I was way out of my depth. It didn't help that the IFA had kept all relevant financial documents so we had little hard evidence of her investment. I was sceptical about much of the financial service industry and in the absence of any documentary proof was dubious about a successful outcome. On the internet I found ACL Consultancy and chose them based on their client reviews. I needn't have worried. Cordula was friendly and understanding. She reviewed our scant documents, took a detailed history and declared herself quietly optimistic. Then with relentless and tenacious efficiency she set about interrogating a procession of dodgy, sometimes unregulated, self styled 'Investment Houses' and 'Financial Advisors' Cordula seems to be genuinely motivated by the injustice of financially vulnerable people being ripped off by these predatory sharks. Cordula and her friendly and efficient staff kept us fully informed of developments as she joyfully plumbed the murky depths of this international financial rabbit hole. Having compiled a comprehensive dossier of evidence against these companies she presented this to both the FOS and the FSCS. Last week my aunt was awarded the maximum payment of 85k which will make a huge difference to her quality of life. Very simply we could not have done this without Cordula and her team and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
