Context
This is the FSCS regular notice that consumers could be in line for compensation. People who have dealt with any of the 15 firms listed below, and believe they are owed money as a result, can now make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This service protects money held in bank, building society and credit union accounts, and protects pensions, insurance, investments, mortgage advice and arranging, and debt management.
FSCS protection contributes to consumers’ confidence in financial services in the UK, so FSCS assists those who have lost money and may be able to benefit from that protection by claiming against a firm that has failed. Customers can claim directly with FSCS for free via its website, which provides the easy-to-use service customers expect. Help is on hand throughout the process, with claims experts available through web chat or over the phone.
