Hello ajs444,

 

try this link to the FSA register.

 

FSA Register

 

Just type in the name of the firm in firm name window/box and search you will see lilal is correct about the dates. However you have to remember that prior to the FSA taking regulatory control on 14 Jan 2005 these institutions still had to have some regulation usually self regulated through GISC/FLA etc.

 

When the results come up you can click on the left hand red links for more detailed information on any firm you search.

 

Please have a look through any relevant threads in here, big thread lots of information.

 

links

 

There is info here on FLA and GISC.

 

You can also use companies house for info on paradise group please see this.

 

Companies House

 

Go to the right hand side and search company information type in company name paradise group and you will get a list of companies with that name. There are a lot of them:eek:

 

I see on my search that Paradise Group Ltd are at the top of the list company number 05683960q just click on this number and you get yet more information.

 

Now I am not sure if this is the company you have a quibble with but the links may help you find the one you want from any information you already hold.

 

I hope this is of use;)

My wife suggesting that I resurrect this claim by going through one of the numerous claims companies. I know the money is lying there ready to be taken but after all the problems 2 years ago I do not have the appetite for doing it myself.

Have uncovered a few further documents, welcome to PPI brochure from First National and acceptance of premium from Pinnacle, the policy administrators.

Going through boxes atm to see what I can find

So took out loan in Nov. 2001 and £359.57 loaded onto the account for PPI., continued paying at 10.8% interest until July 2007, when loan was paid off.

Anything changed with this lot since I first raised the point with them 2 years ago?

Apart from being taken over by Santander.

I am reading quite a few threads regarding GE money and their croonies, anyone had a successful claim against them?

[WILKINSS208]

i a trying to claiim from them to, fob off all the time. passing the buck to other companies. i have gone through the fair trade practice to get my money as havent time or frame of mind to do myself at present

Hi , I had an agreement with First National which was eventually administered by GE Money, at the point of sale PPI was added for a 5 year policy (2001-2006), the amount paid upfront came to £359.57(APR 15.7%), this was added to the agreement and subsequent repayments.

 

I approached GE back in 2008 and was basically told to p**s off, not our problem, go and chase the issuer of the agreement, but since the original seller and First National no longer exist, the claim has been in limbo in my files.

 

Having done a bit more digging, I have discovered that the premium was paid to Pinnacle Partnerships, based in Borehamwood and having read some threads in this section I can see the name Pinnacle cropping up in several cases.

 

Anyone have contact details for them and would it be worth my while chasing them?
