Valentine & Wolff Limited
What this means for you
Because Valentine & Wolff Limited 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
Valentine & Wolff Limited (FRN 147982) was declared in default by the FSCS on 25 July 2001. The firm's product types were not recorded in available data, limiting clarity on its specific service offerings within the UK regulated financial services sector. Eligible customers of the firm may be entitled to FSCS compensation, though the applicable limits depend on the categorisation of products held, ranging from £85,000 for deposits, investments, and mortgages to 90 per cent of losses for insurance products without a monetary cap.
