Sweeping It Under The Carpet
Walter Merricks, chief of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), is reported to have said that complaints about mis-sold mortgage endowments occupy most of his time.
They received 70000 last year.
He is predicting that this level of complaints will continue at least for another 18 months. However, they will then decline as the FSA six month time limit for complaints kicks in.
Some cynics might argue that this time limit was the FSA's method of getting the life assurance companies off the hook, in respect of their obligations to provide a product that actually works.
I have a feeling that this problem will not so easily be swept under the carpet.
