FSCS confirms nine companies defaulting
The FSCS confirmed that nine companies were declared in breach of contract in April and May 2024, resulting in more consumers being compensated.
Recently, the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) confirmed that nine companies were declared bankrupt between April and May 2024. These companies have been unable to fulfill their compensation obligations to customers due to poor financial management.
Consumers who have had financial dealings with these companies can visit the FSCS official website (www.fscs.org.uk/what-we-cover) to understand the relevant protection measures. When regulated financial firms cease trading and are unable to pay customer claims, the FSCS intervenes to provide compensation.
The FSCS protection covers funds held in bank, building society, and credit union accounts, as well as pensions, financial advice, insurance, investments, mortgage advice and arranging, debt management, and funeral plans.
