FSCS declares 30 firms in default between November and January

Consumers could be in line for compensation

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) declared 30 failed regulated firms in default between 1st November 2019 and 31st January 2020, which means consumers could get back money they have lost as a result of their dealings with any of those firms (listed below).

FSCS is the UK's statutory compensation scheme that protects customers of authorised financial services firms that carry out certain regulated activities. A declaration of default means FSCS is satisfied a firm is unable to pay claims for compensation made against it. This paves the way for customers of that firm to make a claim for compensation with FSCS. Since it began in 2001, FSCS has helped more than 4.5m people, paying out more than £26bn in compensation.

Jimmy Barber, FSCS’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “FSCS provides protection when firms fail, reassuring people and enabling them to buy regulated financial products with confidence. We help put people back on track by offering a claims service that is fast and easy for our customers to use, offering support when our customers need it. Our friendly, award-winning customer service team is here to help. We know it can be a difficult time, so our claim experts are on hand to support you at every stage of your claim. It’s completely free and we’ll tell you straight away if you’re eligible to make a claim online.”
