Assurance Planning Services
What this means for you
Because Assurance Planning Services 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
Assurance Planning Services (FRN 121490) was declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on 17 March 1999. The firm's specific product categories are not recorded in available data, limiting clarity on the exact nature of its financial services operations. Former customers may be entitled to FSCS compensation of up to £85,000 for certain protected products, though the absence of documented product-type information prevents precise specification of compensation limits applicable to individual claims.
