The FCA’s investigations continue

Arrests have been made following two FCA investigations into unauthorised debt and claims management activities.

The regulator said it had executed search warrants at seven addresses across the West Midlands, Cambridgeshire, Stirling and Cumbernauld.

It carried out the operations with the help of West Midlands Police, the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit and Police Scotland.

Two individuals were arrested in Birmingham and Huntingdon on suspicion of being involved in debt and claims management activities when they were not authorised by the FCA to do so.

They were interviewed under caution and then released. The FCA’s investigations continue.
