My mother has been trying to deal with this company and has been phoning me in tears at both the inefficiency, beaurocratic quagmire, and general gaslighting communication from this company. Do not go near them. She is now obliged to get a solicitor to act for her. It should not be so difficult to access funds that rightly belong to you. It's like she is applying for funding rather than a withdrawal of her own money. Reader, I urge you to avoid this company. Also, I smell a rat. Why don't they want to give her her funds?

I am sick and tired of bashing my head against the wall, trying to get one of their agents to tell me which company they were, before they became Scottish Equitable. I left the UK in 2002. At the time I had some minor pension products and shares with a number of different companies. Now they want my new contact details. Sure. But first, please tell me: WHO ARE YOU??? Or rather: WHO WERE YOU?? This cannot be so difficult!!! This has been going in for weeks. Read more Read less

I did a pension transfer from Aegon to Aviva & Aegon didn’t send all of the money to Aviva. About 10 months later they said to transfer the rest of it I need to take financial advice again.

    Best to go somewhere else.

    They take your money for years - no problem. Really obstructive when you are due to get it out. Lots of delaying tactics.

Deliberately poor customer service; emails - long and useless responses I'm have been trying since January to take out parts of my private pension fund, first year last so easy I wanted to do same for following years, this if starting from zero, now November they still making excuses even though I have provided everything needed. Would prefer to be dealing though something with intelligence not a time wasting human. Read more Read less

When i called them to advise they said I had to send my original marriage certificate to them for them to change my name. When they returned my certificate back to me, they had folded it in half and put it in an A5 envelope instead of A4 damaging my certificate by putting a huge folded crease down the middle. I am absolutely fuming that there was no thought put into returning an original document ina n A4 envelope as sent. I rang to complain and they said it can take up to 8 weeks to get a response. I hsve sent my certificate to a few companies who always returned as sent A4 in a hardback envelope. Im am so disappointed at the lack of care and attention- service is shocking.! I would not recommend them! Read more Read less

Absolutely appaling service, they clearly don't want you to move you pension to another provider. I have completed so many forms only to be asked for further forms with their due diligence. The money should have been transferred this week after they have delayed since May on to be asked for a letter from my employer, how much they will be paying in, another letter asking for my employment record. Bank statements that had to be certified, history of contributions. They have made the whole process incredibly stressful and have created unacceptable delays.
