> sentant 3

You have a somewhat curious view.

To do the paperwork to send out the cheques will take a certain number of man hours whether it is done by 2 people or 20; the former will just take a lot longer. So the cost will be the same if you put 2 people or 20 on it. Hence my argument that it is disappointing that they don't do their job efficiently.

I don't dispute this is a good compensation system and we are lucky to have it. However, as far as I am aware the money comes from levies put on transactions and so is not paid by the taxpayer (please correct if this is wrong).

I won't bore you with my personal circumstances but suffice to say that I come from humble origins. I was the first person in my extended family to go to university. So all my 'gambling money' is hard earned. And anyway it isn't gambling. I just choose to hold my investments as spread bets rather then actual shares. I am surprised everyone does not do this as it means you do not have to pay capital gains tax!

I will probably regret getting into this discussion......

Orient -;)

This is a tough business; zero sum game and all that
after the near collapse of the whole financial system in 2008, people leave their the livelihood to a spread betting co?
lucky to be getting a dig out is my view!
and somebody is paying for that?

Gamble away by all means and get your money back from the FSA by all means, but expecting sympathy, sensitivity?

I think I'll save that for 25% of the under 25s who cant get a job!

Can't believe you have said that Setanta...not exactly sensitive considering the distress they have been under recently.
The only toss pots here are the BOD of WorldSpreads...hope they get prosecuted eventually!!

Thanks all for your comments. I didn't agree my amount until the end of July so assuming they are doing it in order, I am in trouble if they are only just paying those agreed in April!!!

I can't really claim great financial hardship but am struggling to maintain a sensible investment strategy.

I will just have to wait whilst the small number of staff slowly process the cheques. Ho hum......

Could be worth stating to Capita that the delay in sending you a cheque is causing you material financial hardship and that borrowing costs are around 17% + so you need the funds now.

The most likely order would be by account number.

I agreed on 10th April with KPMG. Personally i think they may be processing randomly as a friend agreed same time as me and he hasnt received his yet.

In my case, I was told the attachment (PDF) I sent was corrupt, and the they could not open it. In my view, Capita (company outsourced to) make up any excuse under the sun.

Thanks for giving me some hope. Can I ask when you agreed the amount of your claim with KPMG? Assuming they are doing it in order of when you agreed the amount, that may give me some idea of when my cheque might arrive!

TIA

I rang the FSCS yesterday and got the standard response that you will get your cheque within 6 months with no further clarity than that! The guy let on that it was purely a rsource issue and that they didn't have enough people to handle the several claims situations which are going on at the moment.

For me this really is not acceptable. After everything is resolved we have to wait an inordinate amount of time for them to get round to send out a cheque because there are not enough people to do the job. Through no fault of my own I am going through financial hardship which could have and should have been resolved weeks ago.

This is so typical of the City; they look after themselves but everyone else can wait.....

So has anyone on here actually received any money yet? It would be good to hear that the process really is happening as alluded to above. I am waiting expectantly for £50k......

No update on the crooks who ran Worldspreads. I guess they are starting up new companies under their partners names, such is life for these kind of lowlife.

I worked for a guy who was very similar, used company funds for work on his house and went bankrupt. He then opened a new company (in his wife's name) and took the staff back on a lower wage.

Dear

Further to previous correspondence regarding your account with Worldspreads, we are happy to confirm that the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme) have now started to release and distribute clients' funds.

Obviously there are a lot of claims to get through, but if you have completed and sent in your FSCS Claim form, you should receive a cheque within the next couple of weeks.

If you have any questions please contact us using the details below:

Kind regards,

hmmm we shall see :-)
