"Check if FCA registered before parting with money on funeral plans"

Was guided by a will writing service ( Paragon Legal Services Ltd) to invest in a funeral plan.
I actually asked the question,what happens if they go bankrupt....was assured the plan is taken over by someone else who honour it in full.
* To find that is not the case!
* Cannot get information on how much money I can expect back.
* Paid £3500 now need to pay £2200 to have the cover.

"Safe Hands (joke)"

Took out a sapphire plan for myself in 2017 finished paying it in 2019. After my husband died aged 51 with a heart attract totally out of the blue thought I would have a funeral plan in order to protect my two daughters the grief and expense of dealing with my funeral.
Safe Hands assured me that the money I paid for my plan would be kept in trust till the time it was neaded.💩Total crap. Now left with no plan,won't get my £3500 back be lucky to get anything back from this fraud of a company. Letter received today from safe hands with a discount to take out the same plan I had with dignity will cost another 2000 and odd pounds bringing my funeral plan to just under £6000. Ile just go out to that tree out back and pick the money of that. Totally sick to my stomach what this company has done to people who were only trying to do the right thing by thier families. Surly the financial ombudsman should be able to help us. We have paid for something we won't receive and we will not get the money back we have paid. Worth a try. Nothing else left to loose.... Company directors should also be prosecuted for theft and fraud. Nothing but SCUM......

"Parliament Petition"

Disgusting way to treat people that are trying to make life easy for family! We paid in full for two plans!
Sign this petition No. 614579 on Parliament Peritions

"Heartless & dishonourable!!!"

Absolutely sickened to the bone. We bought 4 plans in 2016 for £10,460. One each for my husband & I, where in our late 70's, the other 2 for our severely disabled grandchildren who are both short term expectancy of life. Totally disgusted on how some people can hold their head high whilst deliberately planning to steal off vulnerable, disabled and elderly people. Hope they all rot in hell!!!!!!

"Safe hands pre payment funeral plan."

Took out this plan and paid in full by cheque. Now its all gone. Scammers the lot of them. I'm a disabled man and wanted to leave my partner no worries about the funeral when I depart this earth. Feel sickened by all this, not sure if I will get any of my money back. Unless the Government steps in. Hope they bring these people to justice. If you can call them people.

"Nearly finished my plan"

Nearly finished my plan. Been done over like a kipper. My husband passed away on 7the may 2022 I could have used my plan to pay for his funeral but I had to pay full as safe hands plan gone. I am disgusted by the way we have all been douped into believing that our money was secure.
The government are regulating company's now but what about the thousands of us that have been left high and dry. Tax Bill's even administration are going to make sure they get paid but we who have paid in get nearly nothing. Our money has gone and due to administration etc. They will get their money for just paperwork etc we paid in and nothing out.
Government should step in, in this I call a crisis for thousands.

"Disgusting"

Disgusting ! i paid nearly £4,000 5 years ago so that if the worst happened my funeral was all sorted out I used alocal company ,im self employed and currently off work as have a serious heart problem which will require surgery i dont have any money left to take out another plan,and it looks like legal fees have reduced money we might get back to about £100 .Take criminal proccedings against the owners and take every penny they have stolen from us all .My plan no is SHB/21229A/FP

"like so many we took out plans for…"

like so many we took out plans for ourselves for ou funerals simply to make it easier for our children to see to the necessities of funerals and costs ect.We have no savings and now are high and dry I see 10% is a possible payout I think that stinks to be honest it should be based on how much a person put into the pot not an overall 10% if that ever happens

"please anybody who have lost their…"
