Unregulated Exchanges
Unregulated Exchanges Solicitors in Cheltenham
If you’ve lost money after trading on an unregulated cryptocurrency exchange, Pembridge Solicitors can help. Based in Cheltenham, we assist clients across Gloucestershire and the UK who have been defrauded or misled by crypto platforms operating outside of UK regulation.
We understand how complex and frustrating these cases can be. Our team offers clear, expert advice and works to recover lost funds wherever possible.
What Is an Unregulated Exchange?
An unregulated exchange is a cryptocurrency trading platform that operates without authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or other recognised financial regulators. These platforms often lack basic consumer protections and are more likely to be involved in:
- Misleading investment opportunities
- Fake coin launches or pump-and-dump schemes
- Withdrawal restrictions or account freezing
- Disappearing funds or platform shutdowns
- Identity theft and misuse of personal data
If you’ve been misled by one of these exchanges or prevented from accessing your funds, you may have grounds for legal action.
Signs the Exchange May Have Been Unregulated
You may have a potential claim if:
- You weren’t made aware of the platform’s regulatory status
- You were promised guaranteed returns with little risk
- You were pressured into investing or transferring assets quickly
- Your funds have been frozen or disappeared without warning
- You’ve received little or no response from the company after trying to withdraw
Our solicitors can investigate the exchange’s operations, advise on recovery routes, and liaise with relevant authorities where appropriate.
How We Can Help
We provide comprehensive legal support for individuals affected by crypto exchange fraud, including:
- Verifying whether the platform was FCA-authorised or overseas
- Reviewing documentation, transaction history, and communications
- Reporting the fraud to Action Fraud, the FCA, and other authorities
- Pursuing recovery through civil action or asset tracing
- Advising on potential compensation via third-party schemes
We’ll give you a clear picture of your options and act swiftly to protect your interests.
