Review of the Aegon, Pension:

Awful company!

Trying to cash in small pension & they are doing everything possible to avoid paying. Awful website, rude staff & 20 working days to respond to a customer complaint! Awful company, avoid! Reviewed on: 22nd September 2024

Been with Aegon over 15 years.

Been with Aegon over 15 years. Put one of my pension funds elsewhere recently. It has made more in one month than Aegon in over 15 years. Aegon lost over 13000 pounds in that period. New company made 1500 pounds in one month. Enough said. Reviewed on: 4th December 2024

Taking incompetence and ineptitude to levels I previously thought not possible. The utter disdain they have shown me, failing to follow basic instructions, not replying to emails and do everything in their capabilities to prevent access to withdrawals. I was only cashing a small pot pension which has now taken over 3 months and still hasn’t been completed. but will now be transferring my remaining accounts away from the business despite their undoubted best efforts at frustrating the process.

Appalling service ,

Appalling service ,husband been trying to get his pension and some draw down since December. Complain made and the sent £150 to his account to apologise and uphold his complaint. Now say they can’t confirm his account ( which thé have paid into ) therefore can’t send his money . Interest list in the period December to now is approx £800 . They are profiting from his money. As he has had major heart surgery and TIÀs this is causing extreme stress. Reviewed on: 5th November 2024

Pension transfer

Trying to transfer my pension. No response to emails, terrible customer service Reviewed on: 1st November 2024

Website inoperative

Customer online investment details has been down for 5 weeks - usual corporate email responses but now taking further. I find it unacceptable that this company have no sense to get the website up and running - appears to be no urgency. Reported this situation this morning rot the financial ombudsman - lots of very expensive but in effective senior management. Should we be concerned? Reviewed on: 30th September 2024

After Aquiring Scottish Amicable these people have thus far mislaid my Pension due to numerous changes of address. Despite sending proof of ID and Address they still are not helping with the Balancing Statement. Reviewed on: 12th September 2024

Impossible to get hold off.
