Independent Financial Services (oswestry)
What this means for you
Because Independent Financial Services (oswestry) 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
Independent Financial Services (oswestry), FRN 126125, was declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on 20 May 1999. The firm's product offerings cannot be determined from available records, limiting specificity regarding compensation entitlements. Former customers may be eligible for FSCS compensation according to the relevant limits for their product type, though the absence of product classification data prevents precise quantification of potential claims.
