Although insurance and mortgage intermediaries will become regulated by the FSA from late 2004/early 2005, you can sign up voluntarily to join the ombudsman service before then.
To give insurance and mortgage intermediaries the opportunity to find out more about the benefits of doing this, the FOS is hosting a series of free events around the country. You are welcome to drop in at the venue most convenient for you — at any time from 11.00am to 2.30pm (with a short presentation at 11.30pm).
