We would like to advise Forthplus customers that you should proceed with caution if you are approached by a Claims Management Company (CMC). If you believe you may have cause to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), you can contact the FSCS directly to initiate a claim free of charge using the details set out below:
FSCS Contact Details
Telephone: 0800 678 1100

Postal Address: Financial Services Compensation Scheme, PO Box 300, Mitcheldean GL17 1DY
CMCs offer the service of submitting claims to the FSCS on behalf of clients. However, they generally operate on a “no win, no fee” basis. This can mean that if you sign a contract with a CMC to act on your behalf, they will claim a percentage of any compensation you are awarded by the FSCS as a result of your claim. Commissions charged by CMCs can vary significantly and you should therefore consider this very carefully when choosing whether or not to engage with a CMC.
The Officeholders are Data Controllers of personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018. Personal Data will be kept secure and processed only for matters relating to the appointment. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information.
