HOMECALL PLUS HOUSEHOLD CALL-OUT FIRM COLLAPSES
(Published 20 May 2011)
A firm, which provided cover for plumbing, heating and other emergencies in the home, has collapsed.
Homecall Plus of Furthergate, Blackburn, has been put into compulsory liquidation after a creditor petitioned the Official Receiver in Blackpool.
As well as plumbing problems, it dealt with drainage and electrical failures, and provided gas safety checks.
Some 10,000 customers who bought policies up to 3rd December 2010 should still receive cover, with policies underwritten by Brit Insurance, which is honouring them.
However, there is concern that any customers who signed up after 3rd December last year could be left without cover.
It is uncertain whether they would be able to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS has yet to decide whether the policies would be eligible.
