Abbey Insurance Services Limited
What this means for you
Because Abbey Insurance Services Limited has been declared in default, you can't complain via the Financial Ombudsman Service in the normal way. Instead, eligible customers can apply to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for compensation.
Background
Abbey Insurance Services Limited, a UK regulated financial services firm (FRN 144580), was declared in default by the FSCS on 5 September 2002. The firm's specific product offerings cannot be determined from available records, limiting clarity on the scope of its operations at the time of insolvency. Former customers may be entitled to FSCS compensation depending on the products they held, though the absence of documented product categories prevents specification of applicable compensation limits.
