2006 Statistics
According to the 2005/06 annual review from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), mortgage endowment complaints have fallen very slightly. However, insurance-related disputes are on the increase.
The total number of new cases considered by the Ombudsman in the year ending 31 March 2006 across all financial products increased to 112,923 from 110,963.
New mortgage endowment cases, which accounted for 61% of the total, dropped very slightly from 69,737 at 31 March 2005 to 69,149 a year later. This is the first time the FOS has recorded a decrease in complaints about these useless products since 2003/04.
Hardly a dramatic fall though, and indicative of the sorry regard with which the British public hold the life assurance industry.
