Background
Understanding Failed Financial Firms and Your Rights
In the UK financial landscape, investment firms can occasionally face significant challenges that lead to their failure. When this occurs, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) steps in to protect consumers and provide potential compensation. A ‘failed firm’ designation means the company can no longer meet its financial obligations or provide the services it promised to its clients.
The FSCS is a critical safety net established by the UK government to protect consumers when authorised financial firms become insolvent. They offer compensation up to £85,000 per eligible person, per authorised firm. This protection covers various financial services, including investments, banking, insurance, and mortgage advice.
Key characteristics of failed firms typically include:
• Inability to return client investments or funds
• Regulatory intervention
• Loss of authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• Potential fraudulent or negligent business practices
Thom Tax specialises in helping clients understand their position, evaluate their compensation eligibility, and navigate the complex claims process with expert guidance and minimal stress.
