At Thom Tax, we understand the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with discovering your financial institution has been listed among failed firms on the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) website. Barrow & District Credit Union Limited’s current regulatory status has understandably created significant concern for its members and investors. Our dedicated team of financial recovery specialists is here to guide you through this challenging process with compassion, expertise, and a clear, strategic approach to potential compensation claims.
Navigating the complex landscape of financial institution failures requires professional support, and we’re committed to helping you understand your rights, explore your options, and take decisive action to protect your financial interests.
Barrow & District Credit Union Limited Background
Barrow & District Credit Union Limited was a regulated financial institution registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Financial Reference Number 582921. Established as a mutual society with registration number 751C and Companies House number IP000751, the credit union served the Barrow area as a community-focused financial service provider.
Unfortunately, as of 19/10/2022, the organization’s regulatory status changed to ‘Regulatory approval no longer required’, signaling significant operational challenges. This status suggests potential voluntary dissolution, regulatory intervention, or substantial compliance issues that have fundamentally altered the credit union’s ability to continue providing financial services.
The implications of this status are profound for existing members and investors, potentially impacting account accessibility, fund safety, and ongoing financial arrangements. Our role at Thom Tax is to help you understand these implications and navigate the potential paths for financial recovery.
Leadership
Barrow & District Credit Union Limited was managed by a diverse leadership team that included key individuals such as:
1. Robert James Cairns (Primary Contact)
2. Philip John Collier
3. Darina Ward
4. Jennifer Margaret Collier
5. Stephanie Victoria Marks
6. Lesley Karen Cairns
7. Nicola Cassley
8. Kathleen Wise
While these individuals were responsible for the organization’s strategic direction and operational management, the current regulatory status suggests significant challenges in maintaining the credit union’s financial and regulatory compliance.
Our team at Thom Tax works diligently to gather comprehensive information about the leadership’s actions, potential misconduct, and the sequence of events that led to the current regulatory situation, ensuring we build the strongest possible case for our clients’ compensation claims.
