In my mind - Yes absolutely, Financial Advisors - Yes, no hesitation. However, while certain in my own mind, and so as not to be wasting my, or indeed anyone's time, I ran my documents by two financial advisors to see if I had a solid case (third party opinion).
One of these advisors is very experienced in these matters and has been in the media often (I didn't engage him formally so not using name here but I did send my documents to him and spoke to him on them). Both advisors were of the view that my case was virtually water tight, that's how sure they were. Because of the fact that they thought my case was so compelling I did the FSO work myself, big mistake in hindsight, and since there is no right of appeal to FSO (other than High Court) I had no other way to appeal or to then get an Advisor to help.
FSO - ruled against me though and was very much persuaded by the Banks arguments and, in my mind, a misrepresentation/miscommunication of a key document by the Bank. Once the FSO rules that's it, I was not provided with the Banks rationale or explanations prior to the Ruling so I had no chance to dispute what they said other than via High Court.
Anyway I do not wish to rehash the whole case as it was hugely time consuming, at this stage I really want to know how best to interact with the Central Bank on it, and encourage others to do the same.
Many thanks.
