FCA Warning - HJ Collection / Hunter Jones Group / Osborne Baldwin Limited
On 12 November 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority issued an official warning about Osborne Baldwin Limited, Hunter Jones Group, and HJ Collection, stating that these firms may be providing or promoting financial services without FCA authorisation, and advising investors to avoid dealing with them.
Whilst the FCA warning has since been removed from their public warning list, Refundee is actively speaking with multiple affected investors and assessing whether claims can be pursued on a no win, no fee basis. The removal of a warning from the FCA list does not necessarily mean the underlying investor concerns have been resolved.
You can verify firms on the FCA register and check the FCA warning list at any time.
