What happened in Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire Mortgage Centre (PMC) was based in Pembrokeshire and operated across West Wales into the broader South Wales steelworker community. The FCA Final Notice confirmed a 93% unsuitable transfer rate. The FSCS declared the firm in default (FRN 479220) and has upheld over 196 claims.
Pembrokeshire-based clients who have not previously complained may still have a viable Route 3 FSCS claim, depending on when they first became aware of the potential problem.
