Released on January 17, 2024

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) is informing consumers that the bond issued to 102069557 Saskatchewan Ltd. dba Big Q Auto has been demanded and paid.

To determine claim eligibility, consumers are required to provide a signed claim form and supporting documentation to substantiate their financial loss.
