13 firms declared in default in 2 months
The FSCS has today published details of the 13 regulated firms declared in default in the last two months and revealed details of the top 5 firms - in terms of compensation paid out - so far this year.
A declaration of default means the firms have gone out of business and are unable to meet claims themselves.
The default declaration also means at least one successful claim has been upheld against each firm.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is the industry-funded safety net for consumers when regulated firms fail.
Tina Coates, chief communications officer at FSCS, said: “FSCS is here to protect consumers across the UK and help maintain trust in the financial services sector.
"We support customers from all walks of life. We are a free and independent service that customers can claim directly with. We work hard to ensure people get the compensation they’re due, while continuously working to improve our service and claims processes.”
