F.T. Investment & Insurance Consultants
What this means for you
Because F.T. Investment & Insurance Consultants 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
F.T. Investment & Insurance Consultants (FRN 133819) was declared in default by the FSCS on 18 May 2005. The firm's specific product offerings cannot be determined from available data, limiting clarity on the scope of its advisory services. Former customers may be entitled to FSCS compensation, though the applicable limits depend on the products held; standard protection caps apply at £85,000 for investments and mortgages, with insurance claims covered at 90% without a monetary ceiling.
