Regulator "flawed approach" to minibond firm
FCA criticised for handling of LCF, the rise in illegal loan sharks targeting people via social media and more than 80% of online adverts on two major rental sites say 'no DSS'.
A damning report by Dame Elizabeth Gloster finds that the financial regulator failed nearly 12,000 people who lost up to £237 million after an investment scheme collapsed. How have those who lost money reacted to her findings?
A search through 390,000 online adverts for rented homes reveals that on two websites more than 80% discriminate against people on benefits.
And concerns from the team dedicated to chasing, catching and prosecuting illegal loan sharks about the rise of people being targeted via social media.
