Hundreds of people falling victim to romance scams, the Financial Ombudsman Service warns
25 March 2026
Between January 2025 and March 2026, we received over 500 complaints about romance scams.
Uncle Buck Finance LLP is in administration.
Uncle Buck Finance LLP, known as Uncle Buck, went into administration on 27 March 2020.
Unfortunately, when a business goes into administration we are required to stop considering complaints against it. So we’re unable to progress any new or existing complaints about Uncle Buck Finance LLP.
We will be speaking to the administrators (Paul Boyle, David Clements and Tony Murphy of Harrisons Business Recovery and Insolvency (London) Limited) about how best to pass over the complaints currently with our service. Anyone with a new complaint should contact the administrators directly to make a claim.
Borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty in repaying their loans can contact the administrators to discuss their options.
More information can be found on the administrators website.
