Why was Allegiance Mortgages' authorisation revoked

The request was successful.

Dear The Financial Services Authority,

I have already viewed the information linked to from the FSA register about Allegiance Mortagages (FSA# 301164). I would like to know the details of the reasons why disciplinary action was brought against Allegiance Mortgages.

Yours faithfully,

David Evans
