A firm with the status "No longer authorised" may have had its authorisation removed due to voluntary cancellation, failure to meet regulatory requirements, non-compliance with rules and regulations, enforcement action, failure to pay fees, or inactivity. The FCA register or contacting the FCA directly can provide more information about the firm's authorisation status and the reasons for any changes.
These measures can help ensure that firms comply with applicable laws and regulations and protect their customers, investors, and other stakeholders.
The UK financial services industry has seen numerous cases of financial mis-selling in the past, including Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), Interest Rate Hedging Products (IRHP), Endowment mortgages, and Pension mis-selling. These cases have resulted in billions of pounds in compensation being paid out to affected customers. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has taken action to address these issues, including enforcing regulations and introducing new disclosure and transparency requirements. However, the risk of mis-selling in the financial services sector remains, and continued vigilance from both regulators and the industry is needed to prevent future cases and ensure fair treatment of consumers.
Those seeking compensation should seek out the details relevant to their case and proceed accordingly. Consumers in the UK who have been mis-sold a financial product or service may be eligible to claim compensation. Typically, the process involves contacting the firm responsible for the mis-selling to file a formal complaint, which should be done as soon as possible as there may be time limits for submitting claims. If the firm rejects the complaint or the response is unsatisfactory, the consumer can escalate the issue to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The FOS is an independent body that resolves disputes between consumers and financial services providers and their decisions are legally binding on the firm. In cases where the firm is no longer in business or has been declared in default, the consumer can file a claim with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). It's advisable to seek independent financial or legal advice before proceeding, as the process and eligibility criteria may vary depending on the product, service, or circumstances involved.
