I had used Crown Currency Exchange on the 9th September to purchase dollars for a coming holiday. These were delivered promptly on the day specified and everything was in order. So no reason to mistrust them for a further order. I ordered another amount of dollars on 19th September for delivery in November. When I received the e-mail instruction for payment, warning bells should probably have rung when I noticed that the name of their account had changed from Crown Currency Exchange to Crown Holdings Ltd, but the nukmber of the account was the same. I had been out of the country when the company collapsed and only found out when I went on the web to see what the rates were doing. As a widow, on a limited pension, it is blow to find that I have lost probably most of the £1000 I paid them. I think I will stick to the banks or post office in future, you may not get the best rate, but at least you can be sure of getting what you have paid for.
