79th Group Limited Investigation & Investor Reimbursement Options
If you invested with 79th Group Limited, a UK-based investment firm now in administration and under Police investigation, and have lost money, you may be eligible for investment reimbursement through UK banking protections.
Refundee is positive about recovery options for investors via the Contingent Reimbursement Model (CRM) Code or the Mandatory Reimbursement Scheme.
Police Investigation and Administration Status
Recent indications suggest that the City of London Police is conducting an investigation into 79th Group Limited for suspected fraudulent activities.
Investors were reportedly offered high-return loan notes, including purported returns of 12–15%, secured against real estate, wealth, aviation and other assets — claims which subsequent administrators have not been able to substantiate.
In February 2025, multiple individuals connected to 79th Group were arrested and later released on bail as enquiries continued. Following the investigation, the company entered administration, and investors were notified that repayments and interest payments had ceased.
Based on our review, we believe most people impacted qualify for reimbursement under UK banking protections.
Who Can Refundee Help?
If your bank is signed up to the Contingent Reimbursement Model (CRM) Code and you meet the criteria below, you might be able to claim your money back:
You made the payment from your UK bank account after 28 May 2019
Your payment was sent to another UK bank account
Check our list of participating banks to see if yours is signed up to the CRM code.
Your payment might also be eligible under the Mandatory Reimbursement Scheme (MRS) if:
You made the payment after 7 October 2024
Your payment was sent to another UK bank account
Even if your bank has declined your claim before, you may still have a valid case, especially if you join others affected by 79th Group Limited.
