I have an endowment mis-selling complaint being investigated by this
company. After 5 months, they had told me twice they needed more time to
investigate and they would prefer I didn't go the the Ombudsman. Yesterday I
received a letter from a company of insolvency practitioners stating I am a
creditor of BBN and that I should fill in a proof of debt form and come to
the creditors meeting on the 12th March.
As they haven't even done the investigation, I can't see how I can be a
creditor if I don't know whether I had a valid complaint in the first place,
and if I did, how much they would of offered?
As I am quite cynical, I think this as a scam by the parent compant,
Berkeley Berry Birch PLC, that enable them to get out of compensating the
1000's of people who were given rotten advice by them.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Andy
