New regulations came into force in May giving UK consumers more protection. The rules allowed agencies such as the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), but not individuals, to take action against businesses trading unfairly.

Claims made against the firms, which can cover deposit-taking institutions such as credit unions, banks and building societies, investment, insurance and IFA firms, vary depending on the category of firm. Declaring a firm in default is the final part of the process in which a firm is regulated by the FSA and the FSCS is the UK's statutory compensation scheme for customers of regulated financial services firms. Commenting on the latest firms in default, Jonathan Clark, director of claims at FSCS, said: "FSCS's primary role is to help people who have lost money after doing business with an authorised firm if that is unable to meet claims made against it. It is important that customers of the 34 firms we have recently declared in default are aware that FSCS may be able to help, if they have suffered a financial loss. wed, 18 June 2008 11:03:11 +0530
