I managed to get my money reimbursed through the CRM Code via my bank. Happy to help anyone else in need. I know not everyone has been successful through this route.

In response to John Eccles, I reported it to Action Fraud and HSBC last year - have only today received a letter from HSBC saying that they cannot regard it as a scam as the company was ligit but now liquidated. They have still had no response from Barclays who KF banked with but urged me to write to them directly. I feel sick!

Liquidating A Company This process is used where there are unpaid liabilities to creditors and the company needs to be closed down. There may also be assets to be sold and employee’s claims to deal with. Employees have special rights in liquidation and may be entitled to financial claims, and these can usually be claimed from the appropriate government fund. The directors should choose a liquidator who will be a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner to assist them like us. It is a lot more complicated than the striking off process above, as meetings need to be called of the shareholders and notices sent to all creditors. Also, there will be assets and liabilities that need to be dealt with. It is not uncommon for the liquidation process to take up to a year once everything has finally been dealt with and the company can be finally struck off. Dissolving A Company This is the usual method of striking off a company that either has never traded or has stopped trading and is now dormant. You don’t need a liquidator to dissolve a company, you can just complete form DS01 (available from Companies House), submit the form and wait the two months to make sure no one lodges an objection. There are various rules to protect shareholders and creditors who must all be given notice of the intention to apply for striking off. There are also fines, possible director disqualifications and imprisonment if you apply to strike off with the intention of concealing this from creditors or other parties so care needs to be taken to follow the procedures laid out by Companies House.

Does anyone have any info on contact details, numbers emails anything? Has anyone managed to find any info on the liquidation who’s been appointed and do we have any chance to get any money back. I check this everyday for updates I’m so lost with my savings gone I was saving for a wedding. Surly the is a route to get them penalised as they sit in a big fancy house with our money ruining working people.

These are thieves there’s no other way of saying it. Myself and many others have lost huge amounts of money. I accept it’s gone now but it hurts, I was the last of my pension funds and I’ve been working since I was 13 years old. This money was intended to be a bit of luxury in my retirement, but now I will just have to continue working for life. I’m glad they are out of business, but would have felt better if there was any chance of them being brought to court for their actions. My advice for anyone considering investing in the future is, check, check and check again. Then seek professional advice before parting with a penny.

KF are out and out SCAMMERS - Proven. Message to Chris Tranter. The only defence a bank has is if they can prove that they at least queried your attempted transfer before making it. If not, the subsequent liquidation, and the liquidation of the parent company KKH Holdings Limited, can have no bearing on your claim. The scam occurred at the point of transfer, when they were trading. (my email address incidentally is jgeccles@sky.com). Don't forget to submit your ActionFraud - Police report. Good luck. John

John Eccles, could you please let me contact you via email or by phone. I also bank with HSBC but at this stage they are unwilling to help?

Kenton Finance has now officially been wound up as of 21st December 2022 and is not now trading. A liquidator will be appointed in the new year. If you are an investor you should be contacted by the liquidators in due course.

Some information for anyone worried about their investment. Yesterday 21/12/2022, the High Court agreed to wind up KKH Holdings. The company did not attend court or provide any defence. KKH Holdings are now in liquidation and the court will provide liquidators in due course. Once this is done they should contact all creditors directly.

I followed John’s advice re: submitting a fraud claim specifically mentioning push payment scam. I gave them ALL emails and communications and the DocuSign contract I’d signed as evidence. They investigated it but I just found out today that the bank can’t refund me my money because Northern Provident Investments (the company I paid my funds into - not sure if everyone going via Kenton Finance did that too?) are now in liquidation. So, I have contacted the liquidators directly stating that I am owed my capital and any interest. If that fails, I have to rely on the FSCS investigation into Northern Provident Investments that will determine if customers will be eligible to their compensation scheme or not. If yes, I should get my money back. If not, then my final option is Financial Ombudsman which I have submitted a complaint to today, but that is targeted at Kenton Finance for their total disregard for all of us and their absolute fuckery. What a nightmare.

Just been reading through previous reviews, all telling the same sorry story. With the exception of 'Sammy', I cannot see any evidence that my earlier advice (re Authorised Push Payment [APP] scams) has been taken up. I urge all of you to follow my suggestion asap. This guy is an out and out thief and deserves to be prosecuted accordingly. As well as contacting your bank you should consider filing a report with ActionFraud-Police - just Google them and follow their easy instructions. Good luck everyone.

To all fellow KF investors, whose tales of woe are uncannily similar - nay identical - to my own sorry experience I would advise as follows. Forget the emails. Forget the telephone calls. Your money is gone. What you must do is contact your bank as soon as possible and explain you are the victim of an Authorised Push-Payment (APP) scam. Tell them that you require them to reimburse you with the full amount 'invested' under the government-backed Contingent Reimbursement Model Code. I did just that and received a full reimbursement of a large transfer in a matter of weeks. Thank you HSBC!

Like others I am in the same boat. I invested with Kenton and was assured that the money was safe and will receive my maturity payment on the maturity date. I received some interest payments at the beginning but then they were stopped and when I called them they said I will receive them at the end together with my maturity payment. I have now reached the end of my two year bond and I have heard nothing from Kenton. I have called and left several messages but no reply.I cannot get a reply to emails and they do not answer the phone. If anyone finds a solution to get our money back please let me know.

I invested with Kenton after being phoned repeatedly. I was assured that the money was safe. I received two monthly payments and then they called to say that the account was being switched to a compounded 'end of bond' payment offering a better return. I have now reached the end of my two year bond and I have heard nothing from Kenton. All the email contacts I had for them, apart from the info@ no longer work. I cannot get a reply to emails and they do not answer the phone. I'm going to join the Facebook action group but I fear that all my hard-earned money is gone! Do not go near this company. They are a bunch of con artists.

In the same boat as others below. No reply to emails or phone calls. Bond matured this month but no communication about the funds. Also the website gives an error when you try to see your investments. Will try to talk to the bank to get more details as others have mentioned below. Also there is a group on FB named Kenton Finance Action Group. Please join if you guys are in the same situation.
