Weston Ovey (Life & Pensions)
What this means for you
Because Weston Ovey (Life & Pensions) 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
Weston Ovey (Life & Pensions), FRN 125868, was declared in default by the FSCS on 20 October 2000. The firm's specific product types are not recorded in available data, limiting clarity on its exact service offerings within the life and pensions sector. Former customers may be eligible for FSCS compensation, though the applicable limit depends on the product category involved—typically £85,000 for most investment and mortgage claims, or 90% of losses for insurance-related claims without a monetary cap.
