Today, 3.33 pm i had an underwriter ask me what it costs for the client to stay offshore as nothing was declared on the app. Erm he works offshore on an oil rig fffs as already disclosed.
Today, 3.08 pm I totally agree.   It's a shame the FCA doesn't have a Permission for this which is basically "I hardly ever give advice on this....but if a clients circustances are X, Y and Z, I might tell them what to do...." and there is zero or very little financial reward to the broker...

Today, 2.30 pm If you arrange household insurance paid monthly (ie on a credit agreement) or introduce to a provider that gives them a credit agreement you are included in this according to the compliance pros.
Today, 1.58 pm Thank you for that
