Customer Alleges National Planning Corporation Provided Poor Advice

Nancy Ellen Biddle (CRD #: 2134532) is a general securities representative who was registered with National Planning Corporation (St. Pete Beach, Florida) between June 19, 2006 and October 24, 2017. FINRA BrokerCheck discloses that Biddle has been subject of consumer-initiated, investment-related complaint from March 17, 2017 containing allegations against Biddle of poor investment advice while registered with National Planning Corporation. The customer alleged that Biddle made unsuitable recommendations concerning the purchase and liquidation of real estate investment trusts, causing the customer to experience damages exceeding $5,000.00.

According to FINRA BrokerCheck, this is the fifth consumer-initiated, investment-related dispute in which Biddle’s sales practices have been called into question. The first complaint was filed by a customer of Locus Street Securities who alleged that real estate investment trust purchases were not suitable given the customer’s age and liquidity needs. In addition, that customer alleged that the account was over-concentrated in real estate investment trusts. The complaint was settled on February 25, 2005 for $171,668.40 in damages.

The second complaint was filed on May 2, 2006, concerning a customer of ING Financial Partners, Inc. who alleged that there were unauthorized stock trades made in the customer’s investment account. The customer demanded $150,000.00 in damages. ING Financial Partners, Inc. denied the complaint on May 11, 2006. The third complaint dated May 9, 2013 involved a National Planning Corporation customer who alleged that a variable annuity was unsuitable for the customer. The firm stated that the customer’s alleged damages are greater than $5,000.00.

Another National Planning Corporation customer brought an arbitration on July 14, 2015, alleging negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of FINRA and NASD rules in connection with the customer's real estate security holdings. National Planning Corporation agreed to pay the customer $12,500.00 to resolve the matter.

On October 18, 2017, Biddle became registered with FSC Securities Corporation in St. Pete Beach, Florida.
