What Was Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd?

Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd (company number 12309797) was incorporated on 12 November 2019 and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 9 January 2020 as a limited permission credit broker with secondary broking permission only. Its FCA reference number was 917089. Despite holding only credit broking permissions, the firm engaged in investment activities for which it had no authorisation.

The company operated as part of a wider network known as the Sentor group, which included Sentor Solutions Advisory Ltd (later renamed Hall Contracting Services Ltd), Sentor Solutions Ltd (later renamed Clarkson Murphy Partners Ltd), and Fabcourt Developments Ltd. Together, these companies defrauded investors of more than £2 million plus an additional $500,000 through a property-backed convertible loan note scheme.

On 8 September 2021, the FCA issued a First Supervisory Notice prohibiting Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd from carrying out any regulated activities. A public consumer warning followed on 24 September 2021. The company was subsequently wound up by the High Court on 16 August 2022 following a petition by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The winding up concluded on 3 July 2024, and the company was formally dissolved on 9 October 2024.

How the Sentor Solutions Fraud Worked

The Sentor group operated a sophisticated investment fraud that exploited the firm’s FCA-authorised status to give victims a false sense of security. The scheme worked as follows:

Fraudulent Investment Products: Investors were offered fixed-rate convertible loan notes issued by Texmoore Limited and Fabcourt Developments Ltd, promising high monthly or quarterly interest rates of between 8.2% and 14.5% for durations of two to five years. The investments were marketed as being backed by UK commercial and residential property developments.
False Security Trustee Role: Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd and its associated companies acted as “security trustees” for the investment schemes, claiming to hold charges over the borrowing companies’ assets to protect investors. In reality, the assets claimed to be worth £100–£140 million were entirely fictitious, and the charges were worthless.
Misuse of FCA Authorisation: The firm’s regulated status was prominently highlighted in communications to investors without any explanation that its permissions were limited to credit broking. Fabcourt’s brochure specifically stated that Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd was “authorised and regulated by the FCA” and described it as a “regulated security trustee.”
False FSCS Claims: Investors were told their funds were covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and that the loan notes were “government-backed.” Neither claim was true.
Initial Payments Then Silence: After receiving investor funds, the companies would make a handful of monthly interest payments before ceasing all communication, leaving investors substantially out of pocket.
Fictitious Properties: The properties presented in promotional materials were found to be owned by unrelated entities, and videos promoting the investment schemes had been cloned from legitimate sources.

Signs You May Have Been Misled by Sentor Solutions

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may have a valid claim for compensation:

You were told your investment was protected by an FCA-regulated security trustee and covered by the FSCS

You were promised fixed returns of 8–15% per annum with claims of ‘low risk’ or ‘guaranteed security’

You invested in convertible loan notes issued by Texmoore Limited, Fabcourt Developments, or Sampson Property Developments

Interest payments stopped after a few months and the company ceased all communication

You were introduced to the scheme by someone claiming to be an FCA-approved person offering free financial advice

You were pressured to invest quickly or to roll over your investment into new loan notes upon maturity

What to Do If You Lost Money to Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd

Gather Your Documentation

Collect all investment brochures, loan note certificates, emails from Sentor Solutions or its representatives, and bank statements showing your payments to Texmoore, Fabcourt, or related companies.

Preserve All Communications

Save any emails, letters, or marketing materials that reference FCA regulation, FSCS protection, security trustee arrangements, or guaranteed returns. These are critical evidence of misleading claims.

Contact Your Bank

Report the payments as potential fraud to your bank’s fraud department. Request a reimbursement under APP fraud rules. If your bank refuses, do not give up — this decision can be challenged.

File a Report with Action Fraud

Submit a report at actionfraud.police.uk to obtain a crime reference number. This strengthens your formal complaint and demonstrates the seriousness of the matter.

Check the Insolvency Service Updates

Monitor any updates from the Official Receiver regarding the liquidation of the Sentor group companies. Be aware that recoveries from insolvent companies are typically very low.

Can I Recover Money Lost to Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd?

Although Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd has been dissolved and its assets liquidated, victims may still have viable routes to recover their losses. The key is to focus not on the insolvent company itself, but on the financial institutions that processed your payments. We investigate several potential avenues:

APP Fraud Reimbursement: Under the mandatory reimbursement rules for authorised push payment fraud, your bank may be required to reimburse you if it failed to apply adequate fraud detection measures when you made the transfer. Banks have a duty to intervene where payments display hallmarks of fraud.
Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS): If your bank rejects your initial complaint, we can escalate your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The FOS has already upheld complaints against Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd (decision DRN-3187695) and can order compensation where firms have acted unfairly.
Contingent Reimbursement Model (CRM) Code: Signatory banks are expected to reimburse victims of APP fraud unless the customer ignored effective warnings or acted with gross negligence. Many victims of the Sentor scheme transferred funds in good faith based on misleading claims of FCA regulation.
Section 75 Consumer Credit Act: If any part of your investment was funded via a credit card, you may have additional protections under Section 75, which makes the credit provider jointly liable for misrepresentation or breach of contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my money back from Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd?

Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd was dissolved in October 2024 following liquidation, so direct recovery from the company is no longer possible. However, you may be able to claim a refund from your bank or payment provider if they failed to protect you from the fraud. We assess each case individually to identify the strongest route to recovery.

Was Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd regulated by the FCA?

Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd held limited FCA authorisation for credit broking only (FCA reference 917089). It was never authorised to provide investment services, act as a security trustee, or offer financial advice. The FCA issued a consumer warning in September 2021 and imposed requirements preventing the firm from carrying out any regulated activities.

What happened to Texmoore and Fabcourt Developments?

Texmoore Limited (later renamed Sampson Property Developments) entered compulsory liquidation in March 2022. Fabcourt Developments Ltd was wound up by the High Court in August 2022 alongside the other Sentor group companies. Both companies operated the same fraudulent convertible loan note scheme, offering fictitious property-backed investments with promised returns of 8–15% per annum.

How long does a recovery claim take?

A typical claim takes between 8 and 16 weeks for an initial bank complaint, with a further 6 to 12 months if escalation to the Financial Ombudsman Service is required. We keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible.

What are your fees?

We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis. If your claim is successful, we charge a fee of 15% + VAT of the total compensation awarded. If we do not recover any money for you, there is no fee to pay.

Can I make a claim myself for free?

Yes. You are not required to use our services. You can complain directly to your bank and, if unsatisfied with their response, refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme free of charge. Our service provides professional expertise to help build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
