First Solution Money Transfer

First Solution Money Transfer was a UK based private limited company which provided a money transfer service, providing expatriates the facilities to transfer money back to their family in Bangladesh.

In June 2007, the company went into liquidation owing nearly GB£2 million pounds to the public, the majority of whom were from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh.

Campaigns organised by various community leaders and the local Member of Parliament have led to investigations of the collapse by the Metropolitan Police and a review of this industry by the government. Tighter regulation in this sector is expected to be introduced by 2009. The government has also indicated support for the setup of a crisis fund to compensate the victims.

Famous quotes containing the words solution, money and/or transfer:

    The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    My boy ... always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.
    Damon Runyon (1884–1946)

    If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.
    Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
