Administrative Error at FSCS Causes Chaos for Solicitors and Claims Management Companies
Introduction
Recently, an administrative error at the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has caused widespread disruption, affecting solicitors and claims management companies. Here’s what happened and how we’re addressing it.
The Error
The FSCS mistakenly sent out letters overnight stating that several firms had been de-authorised. This error caused immediate confusion and concern among clients about the legitimacy of their claims and their legal representatives.
Immediate Impact
This mistake has led to unnecessary panic and increased workloads for solicitors and claims management companies, who now must manage client enquiries, rectify misinformation, and reassure clients.

The FSCS is working to correct the error by sending out letters to affected clients, clarifying that the de-authorisation notices were sent in error.
