A lengthy Bankruptcy Order for an Independent Financial Adviser. Self-employed independent financial adviser, Marc Jones, 42, had debts over £300,000 after failing to provide services to customers.

Mr Jones was self-employed from January 2012 until October 2018 as an independent financial advisor. From 2018-2019 he worked on behalf of a financial institution selling various financial products.

Commission payments were received by Mr Jones totalling several hundred thousand pounds on the sale of insurance policies that he knew, or ought to have known, would be cancelled.

In addition, he received payment for services that he then failed to supply to his customers. As a result, at the point of bankruptcy, he owed over £350,000.

Marc Jones benefitted by several hundred thousand pounds through his behaviour and that is why he has received such a lengthy ban.
