Two wealth and advice firms have been declared in default among 22 other firms of varying type across the financial services sector.

The FSCS today announced the latest batch of firms that went into default in January and February.

Consumers could get back money they have lost as a result of their dealings with any of the 24 failed financial firms.

Among them were:

• The FG (IFA) Limited, trading at PMI Independent Financial Advisers/The Financial Group, based in Basildon, Essex.

• Total Wealth Solutions Limited, based in Silsoe, Bedfordshire

Alex Kuczynski, director of corporate affairs at FSCS, said: “FSCS steps in to protect consumers around the UK when authorised financial services firms go bust. This vital service, which is free to consumers, protects your deposits, investments, home finance and insurance. We want anyone who believes they may be owed money as a result of their dealings with any of these firms to get in touch as we may be able to help you.”

Since it began in 2001, FSCS says it has helped more than 4.5m people, paying out more than £26bn in compensation.
