This is to enable these firms to find out more about how we work and what we do at the Financial Ombudsman Service.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) will regulate mortgage intermediaries from the end of October this year, and insurance intermediaries from 14 January 2005. From the same dates, these firms will be covered, by law, by the Financial Ombudsman Service.
To find out more about what this will mean for you, why not come along and meet us at one of our free events, taking place all around the UK.
Each event begins at 10.50am. There will be a presentation at 11.00am (lasting approximately 50 minutes), followed by an informal question and answer session. There's no need to book - just turn up on the day at the venue that's most convenient for you.
