And I think this emphasizes how advisers do not appreciate how Group Income Protection can be a much better product than individual. Which I think was part of the point of this article.

The group had in fact started to gather information from Cru and Maguire with a view to taking legal action, hence the fall out.

It was high pressure sales then, having to report why I had arranged a non endowment mortgage etc. It has become worse since then. The banks simply vcannot be trusted as they are able to agree their own levels of commission owing to their clout in the marketplace. Has nobody thought about simply standardising commissions across the board?

Call me a pedant but shouldn't a true ‘professional’ at least be able to spell the word? And an anonymous poster thinks it disgraceful that he barely earns more than a mechanic (without having the financial nous to understand the costs of running a fully equipped garage or realising that mechanic possess considerably more skill than most IFAs). Anyone who seriously can't understand the problem with commission-based advice at last being dealt with by the FSA shouldn't have a job involving numbers.

'Better regulation cost more'. Is he totally deranged? Better of anything cost less. That's what capitalism does. Every day, more for less. What he's doing is bureacratism. It's the economics of the mad house. And as predicted when it failed, the FSA is now going round shooting people for no better reason than it can. This is truly truly disgraceful behaviour. It is latent totalitariansim.

They can't accept business when the ifa isn't authorised so don't see what the big problem is.
