FSCS in-default firms
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is the UK's statutory compensation scheme of last resort. When a regulated firm has failed, FSCS can pay eligible consumers up to £85,000 per claim on investments, mortgages and protected deposits, or 90% of liability with no cap on protected insurance.
6043 firms in our extract of the FSCS in-default register. We grow this list weekly from the public FSCS register.
If your firm is in default…
You cannot complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service in the usual way — FOS only handles live firms. Instead, you apply to FSCS for compensation. We can walk you through eligibility and help you draft your claim in plain English.
