A pending customer complaint involving Timothy Tremblay raises questions about investment liquidity and the benefits of recommended annuity contracts.

For investors reviewing similar concerns, the important comparison is between what they needed their money to do and what the recommended products actually allowed.

What Does the Complaint Allege?

Timothy Neil Tremblay, CRD No. 1201542, is registered with Centaurus Financial Inc.

His BrokerCheck report lists FINRA arbitration case 26-01992, filed on September 8, 2026, and received on September 14, 2026. The customers allege unsuitable, illiquid investment recommendations from approximately February 2014 through early 2026, along with annuity contracts that provided no discernible benefits. They seek $750,000 in alleged damages. The matter remains pending. (FINRA)

How Has Tremblay Responded?

Tremblay denies wrongdoing. His response states that the investments were suitable for the customers’ objectives and circumstances, that they received and understood relevant disclosures, and that he acted in their interests. These are disputed allegations, not established findings. (FINRA)

Look Closely at Access to Your Money

When reviewing an investment recommendation, consider more than the projected return. Ask what would happen if you needed the money earlier than expected.

FINRA describes liquidity risk as the difficulty of cashing out an investment when needed. Some investments, including non-traded real estate investment trusts, can restrict access to funds for extended periods. (FINRA)

For a consultation about similar concerns, prepare answers to these questions:

  • When did you expect to need the money?
  • What withdrawal or resale restrictions were explained?
  • Were you told the investment could be sold easily?
  • Did you communicate upcoming expenses or income needs?
  • What happened when you requested a withdrawal?

These are suggested review questions, not additional allegations about Tremblay or Centaurus.

What Was the Annuity Supposed to Accomplish?

Ask for a clear explanation of the purpose of each annuity recommendation. Identify the promised benefit, the costs, and any restrictions on accessing the contract’s value.

INVESTOR cautions that withdrawing money from an annuity during a surrender period may trigger charges. Depending on the circumstances, withdrawals can also have tax consequences. (INVESTOR)

Before changing or surrendering a contract, consider requesting a written explanation of the consequences. For a legal review, preserve the original application, contract, illustrations, and communications explaining the recommendation.

Records to Gather Before a Consultation

A useful document packet includes:

  • Account statements and transaction confirmations.
  • Annuity contracts and sales illustrations.
  • Offering documents for other disputed investments.
  • Emails discussing risk, income, or access to funds.
  • Withdrawal requests and the responses received.
  • Written complaints submitted to the firm.

Prepare a short timeline identifying each recommendation, what you understood, and when your concerns arose. Keep deposits, withdrawals, distributions, and current values separate rather than treating the original investment amount as the amount of your claim.
