Understanding the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS): Let X-Claims Support You

If you’ve received financial advice from an FCA-regulated advisor who has ceased trading, you may be eligible to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS has the authority to award compensation for advisors no longer in business, providing a vital safety net for affected individuals.

Handling Ongoing Cases and Non-FCA Regulated Advisors: In instances where your financial advisor is still actively operating, it’s important to first file a complaint directly with them. If the response is unsatisfactory or if your claim is rejected, escalating the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is the next step.

Additionally, for cases involving non-FCA regulated advisors and Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) claims linked to unregulated products, a compensation claim against the SIPP company may be applicable. If the SIPP company is no longer operational, the FSCS can provide necessary recourse.

Direct Approach to the FSCS: While approaching the FSCS directly is an option, it’s crucial to recognise the complexities of managing your claim independently. Handling the extensive paperwork and legal nuances without professional assistance can be daunting and time-consuming.

Our experienced team will take charge of gathering crucial evidence, constructing a robust case, and advocating on your behalf.
