Elliot Financial Services Ltd
Elliot Financial Services Ltd (FRN 185289) was an Edinburgh-based financial services firm that held FCA authorisation until November 2003, when it ceased to be regulated. The firm operated from 31 Rutland Square, Edinburgh, a well-known address in the Scottish professional services sector.
The firm is now listed on the FSCS register in connection with potential investment and pension claims. Although the firm’s authorisation was removed over two decades ago, the impact of unsuitable financial advice can take many years to become fully apparent, particularly in connection with long-term pension or investment products.
Former clients who received advice from Elliot Financial Services Ltd on investments or pension matters and who believe they suffered losses as a result of that advice should seek specialist review. Limitation periods for financial claims can be complex, and early advice is important.
Issues / Why You May Have a Claim
Long-term pension and investment clients can sometimes only identify the harm caused by unsuitable advice years or even decades after it was given. If you received advice from Elliot Financial Services Ltd and you are now experiencing financial difficulties or shortfalls that you believe are connected to that advice, it is worth seeking an assessment of your position.
