UK compensation scheme declares 8 firms in default

By Tom Carnegie, 11 May 18

A raft of UK financial advice firms were declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) during April, meaning consumers could get back money they have lost.

A raft of UK financial advice firms were declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) during April, meaning consumers could get back money they have lost.

The FSCS is the UK’s statutory compensation scheme that protects customers of regulated financial services firms.

A declaration of default means the 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.

Since it began in 2001, FSCS has helped more than four and a half million people, paying out more than £26bn ($37bn, €30bn) in compensation.

In April, the FSCS declared 11 firms in default, while in February it declared 24 firms.
