The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has declared 16 more firms to be in default.
Consumers who have lost money as a result of dealing with the firms can now make a claim for compensation from the FSCS.
The declaration of default is the final part of a process whereby a regulated firm is deemed by FSCS to be unable to pay claims for compensation against it.
This is usually because it has insufficient assets, for example, because it has ceased trading or is insolvent, it said.
The firms declared to be in default are as follows:
