Beware these sharks

1
Since my father's passing in November 2024 I have been trying to get the remainder of his annuity with Aviva paid into my mother's account, as stated on their policy document. As my mother is an 88 year old with dementia and is incapable of managing her own affairs it has become my responsibility to follow these types of issues up for her, which I am glad to do.

110% performance

Good service is often measured by actions taken when things go wrong. Aviva have far exceeded my expectations when resolving a recent issue and they not only resolved the issue but went above and beyond to ensure I had a good customer experience. Reviewed on: 29th August 2023

Best deal available at the time

There were a lot of options regarding how I could take my annuity so I was able to find one that suited our needs. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2023

The Bad and Ugly

Pathetic customer services and everytime one rings asked if you want to make a complaint with no feedback if there is than they are working very hard. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Terrible service

Had my money for over a month and still not set up my annuity, wait on phone time is over 60 minutes Reviewed on: 4th January 2023

good reliable service

once started everything runs like clockwork Reviewed on: 13th September 2022

Efficiency declined over the years

I have been with Aviva PP for over 30 years, in recent years the customer service is less than beguilling, never do what they say they are going to do?? I have transferred to an annuity with Legal & General which has a higher rating. Reviewed on: 15th October 2021
