Authorisation being cancelled

Clarion Cars has asked the FCA to cancel their authorisation. It is still in force until the FCA processes the application, so existing business keeps its protection, but their regulated work is winding down.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
