Gloucestershire CU default: FSCS protects 1,417 members
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has stepped in to protect the members of Gloucestershire Credit Union Limited, which has stopped trading and is now in default.
FSCS will compensate most of the 1,417 members within seven days. Using the Credit Union’s records FSCS will send members a cheque for their balance automatically. FSCS expects the total compensation for Gloucestershire Credit Union Limited to be around £600,586.
Where contact details are missing for members who still have money in their Gloucestershire Credit Union account FSCS will not be able to issue cheques to these members immediately.
Anyone who believes they still have money in an account with the Credit Union but has not received a compensation cheque from FSCS within seven days should contact the Joint Administrators, James Sleight and Peter Hart of PKF Geoffrey Martin & Co Limited.
A dedicated page on the FSCS website includes questions and answers which may be useful for members of Gloucestershire Credit Union Limited.
