The Financial Ombudsman Service has published 3 decisions involving Oddie Dalton & Co Ltd, and 1 of them was upheld. The decisions are public documents, and they set out in the ombudsman’s own words what went wrong and what the firm was told to do about it.
The complaints span 25 July 2014 to 21 December 2022, and concern insurance, including a case recorded as insurance excluding PPI. If you are looking into an Oddie Dalton claim of your own, or researching how a mis-sold insurance complaint against the firm might work, the decisions are a useful place to start.

An upheld decision means the ombudsman agreed with that consumer in that individual case. It does not by itself mean any other complaint against the firm will succeed, and every case turns on its own facts.
What to do if you were advised by this firm
Where a firm is still trading and regulated, the complaint starts with the firm itself. It is only fair that a business is given the chance to put things right, and it has up to eight weeks to give you its final response. If that does not resolve matters, you can take the case to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which is free and independent, and this is how an Oddie Dalton compensation claim would normally proceed, normally within six months of that final response. Court action is the alternative, but it can be costly, and a claim above £10,000 carries the risk of paying the other side’s costs.
