A declaration of default means FSCS is satisfied a firm is unable to pay claims for compensation made against it.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has declared that 30 failed regulated firms in default between 1 November 2019 and 31 January 2020.
These firms include NFS Mortgages Limited of Hawthorne Road in Merseyside and London Capital & Finance plc in Moorgate.
A declaration of default means FSCS is satisfied a firm is unable to pay claims for compensation made against it.
This paves the way for customers of that firm to make a claim for compensation with FSCS.
