How to claim
Companies House records show that Parker Castle (Financial Management) Limited was dissolved on 4 May 2021. A complaint can only be made to a firm that still exists, so the ombudsman route is not open here. That does not mean nothing can be done.
Because the company was dissolved less than six years ago, there may still be two ways forward. A dissolved company can generally be restored to the register within six years of dissolution, and restoring it can reopen a claim against the professional indemnity insurance the firm held when it gave the advice. Alternatively, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the FSCS, may be able to pay compensation. The FSCS has not declared this firm in default at the time of writing. A default is normally declared once the scheme receives a claim it considers eligible, so coming forward is part of what triggers it.
Which of those is the better route depends on the facts of your case, and on what evidence still exists. That is usually the real difficulty. Paperwork goes missing, firms close, and people are left trying to prove what they were told years ago. Gathering that evidence is a large part of what we do, and it is worth a conversation before you decide the case is not worth pursuing.
