    Nope - the banks did that by bundling PPI in with any credit agreement they sold you. PPI misselling is where a LENDER sells you PPI with a loan/mortgage/credit card, often without you needing it, wanting it or sometimes even without you knowing you had it.

    IFAs like myself don't sell anything. We give advice and intermediate between clients and providers. We have no products to "sell" just our advice and intermediation service. I think when I last looked at the industry stats on PPI misselling claims there were precisely ZERO upheld against an IFA.

    Not one of ours I'm afraid, but I don't work on that side anyway. I think it does have a bit of a 'rep'. But we've got Avenham lol

    Don't usually talk work but here's what we did with the 'notorious' Callon Estate:

    Callon Estate, Preston

    • 146 properties were transferred from Preston City Council in 1997

    • A full refurbishment and improvement programme carried out over 3 years on the flats and houses

    • Investment of £4.5m

    • Award winning Community Wardens have been employed and CCTV cameras installed

    • The Callon Community Association was established with Constituted Contour tenants, Preston City Council tenants and owner occupiers

    • The Callon Kids Community Club was also set up with the aim of diverting children on the estate away from a life of crime.

    When you have a d*ck like a babies arm holding a tangerine you have to make the most of it. So actually it can be quite lucrative.....Most of my customers are middle aged women who aren't getting what they need from there husbands :shades:

    I'm self employed and contract myself out on multi-million pound projects as a mechanical design engineer.
    I've worked in the Nuclear, Water and Waste Water, Food and Beverage, Fire Fighting, Oil and Gas, and Heavy Industries sectors.
    I write specifications, technical analyses, calculations, drawings, 3D modelling, inspect equipment etc - in other words I'm of no use to man or beast lol

    I do provide an open house to my mates and make a cracking cup of tea :)

    God avenham is just as bad lol, its alot better on callon due to the cameras been put up but its had a knock on effect, because all the callon kids come to moor nook and rob cars, bikes, houses etc.
    So its made callon better and moor nook worse lmao, they need to put cameras on moor nook maybe it will get better but thats wishful thinking lol

    Sorry to hear that mate, we can do the best for communities but can't change the people I'm afraid. You need to lobby Preston Gateway to do the same sort of stuff we've done
