FS Assurance Limited
What this means for you
Because FS Assurance 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
FS Assurance Limited (FRN 113851) was declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on 30 August 2007. The firm's specific product offerings cannot be determined from available data, limiting identification of the compensation framework applicable to former customers. Eligible claimants may be entitled to FSCS compensation up to £85,000 for most product types, or 90 per cent of claims for insurance-related products with no upper limit, depending on what financial services the firm provided at the time of default.
