Broker Alert: Firm Misrepresenting Licensing Consequences to Brokers with Unpaid Prom Notes

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

It has come to our attention that a major independent BD is telling reps, who leave the firm with unpaid forgivable loans, that they will lose their securities license if they do not pay the brokerage firm the remaining balance on the note. This is flatly untrue, and a result that often can be avoided with competent securities counsel.

Should any reps be told such falsehoods, please contact us so that we can protect your rights and pursue any available remedies.

The attorneys of Eccleston Law LLC represent investors and advisers nationwide in securities and employment matters. The securities lawyers at Eccleston Law also practice a variety of other areas of securities for financial investors including Securities FraudUnauthorized TradingBreach of Fiduciary DutyRetirement Planning Negligence, and much more.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.
