Regular notice that consumers could be in line for compensation.

FSCS has confirmed that the 11 firms below are in default – which means they have gone out of business and are unable to meet any claims themselves. Customers who are owed money by these firms can see how they’re protected by visiting our What we cover page.

If a regulated financial firm is no longer trading and can't pay a customer’s claim, FSCS can step in to pay compensation. 

We’re an independent, free service and customers keep all the compensation they’re owed when they claim directly through us. Our protection covers money held in bank, building society and credit union accounts. FSCS also protects insurance, investments, mortgage advice and arranging, and debt management plans. From 29 July 2022, funeral plans from FCA-authorised providers will also be eligible for FSCS protection.

Debbie Stimpson, Chief of Staff at FSCS, said:

“With rising costs being seen everywhere it is more important than ever that people are supported to get back on track if they lose money when a financial firm fails. We know that it can be stressful for customers when a firm that owes them money stops trading and our experienced claims team are here to help during these difficult times. We encourage people to claim directly with FSCS via our website where they can access our easy-to-use claims service for free.

“FSCS has supported more than 6.5m customers to claim compensation since we were established in 2001 and our recent report, ‘The balancing act of compensation’, presents some unique data and insight to contribute to a future compensation framework that balances affordable costs for the industry with appropriate compensation for consumers. We’re proud of the vital role FSCS plays in protecting consumers and helping to maintain trust and confidence in the financial services sector.”
