Elysian Fuels
Elysian Fuels Investment Claim
This was sold as an investment in renewable energy projects, such as biofuel, in the UK and the US. However, in 2015 the company’s shares were valued at zero and the investments have therefore lost millions.
Almost £200 million was invested in this scheme and it seems highly likely that thousands of UK based customers will have lost their savings and pensions as a result. Many customers were incorrectly identified as being high risk takers and high net worth individuals when this was not the case. This is an investment that has been identified as “high risk and inappropriate.”
The Financial Ombudsman Service has identified assets held with Elysian Fuels to be illiquid and leaving the customer unable to access their money. This is clearly unsuitable, and unfair, for many customers.
