Does anyone know when the court proceedings are due to take place?

I am more worried that Dalriada can supposedly access our pension funds to pay any incurred costs without consent or authority.

Has anyone given Dalriada consent or authority to access their pension funds (email to: PaulGrant@cossie.force9.net)?

I am totally against this as I have given no consent or authority and if any of my funds are used I will be pursuing Dalriada via court proceedings (and I advise everyone to do the same – email me for further information).

Note that ARK are bearing their own legal costs.

Why are our details being displayed on a non-secured website!

Go read this: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/rpsmmanual/rpsm07200080.htm

Then try to understand that by stopping these loans being made, Dalriada are not trying to cause you to lose your house, but instead are complying with the law, and trying to save you from a tax charge that can be up to 70%.

I Totally agree Phillip everyone that entered the schemes new the risks , but needed the cash. how can the scheme members be at fault for a company like Ark that still maintain the legality of their schemes, I just want my whole pension back , and will fight to the letter anyone who skims off my pension.
How is it so difficult to access my pension and other people can seem to be helping themselves , so much for a pension regulator they are all out to rip us all off .

Hello, Suzanne said that my most recent message/comments were moved to here, I don’t think they are Suzanne, where are they?
Also do all the other customers realise that Dalriada are charging us for security staff?
I think this beggars belief and I think that you are taking the piss out of us, especially as you could/would not answer the question raised about this, how on earth can you quantify this?
I think that the pensions regulator should investigate the pirates that are Dalriada.

Just got your letter stating that there will be a court case re ARK and that the members defence will come out of the fund, what about your Barrister? And how is this helping members? Our home constitutes part of our pension plans and, because of your actions, we stand a good chance of losing it!
I hope you do not expect people to stay with you, recommend you, or say good things about you ANYWHERE

You reply is fine, if the website was updated, even if to say ‘no change’.
An extension has been applied for, this will cost members even more money and to what end?
At the end of the day my house comprised quite a major part of my ‘pension’ and through your actions, or lack of them, I will probably lose it, many thanks.

Dalriada appreciates that a number of people have elected to transfer benefits into one of the Ark Schemes with the expectation of obtaining an MPVA payment.

However, as we have stated on our website page for members – http://www.dalriadatrustees.co.uk/ark/, Dalriada has been advised by a leading barrister (a Queen’s Counsel or “QC” who specialises in pensions and trust law matters) that there is a strong possibility that MPVA payments are “void”. Dalriada will seek Court direction on whether this is the case.

If the Court decides that MPVAs are “void” we will be required to seek repayment of the money. As such, it would be inappropriate for Dalriada to continue to make MPVA payments at the current time.

Whilst such legal questions remain to be answered it is difficult to give members definitive answers to certain questions and, also, how the Ark Schemes will run in the future. Dalriada appreciates this is frustrating for members and is endeavouring to move things forward as quickly as possible.

Dalriada will update the website page for Ark members when it is able and would ask members to check periodically for updates. Alternatively, Dalriada can be contacted as shown on that website page.”

This still doesn’t help those that were relying on loans against their pensions that will make the difference between keeping your dwelling or having it repossessed by their lender, my cheque had been dated 01 June 2011 and you cancelled it, the outcome will be the loss of my house.
