<H3>6. How long will it take to process my claim?
</H3>
After a declaration of default, FSCS aims to process all claims within six months. However, the time this takes depends very much on the type of claim. For example, most credit union claims can be completed within four weeks. For other types of claim it may take longer, depending on how complex it is and on some factors that may be outside of our control, such as waiting for information from third parties.

P.S. My guess is that a large failure would take several years to sort out.0 -

The only payouts the FSCS have paid out have been for bad advice from firms that no longer exist. They have typically taken 1-2 years from first notification.
No UK retail bank has failed in over 100 years. So, none since the FSCS was created. However, its also highly unlikely to be claimed on in the near future either.
