Impressive Support from Aviva

5
Amidst health battles and job loss, Aviva's exceptional assistance, especially from the Customer Retirement Team, truly amazed me. Their prompt handling of payments and regular updates turned a stressful situation into a seamless process. The team's empathy and understanding provided much-needed support during a tough time. Kudos to Aviva for their customer service commitment. I highly recommend them based on my experience. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

5 weeks later still waiting for them to send penstion transfer forms

Absolutely awful! Wouldn't wish it upon anybody! They're not rude or anything like that - on the contrary, always promise they'll action my request as a priority. Five weeks later, I'm still waiting for the forms to be emailed or posted. I even provided an alternative email address, because they claim my email isn't working. That's not true, as I get all my household bills emailed to me, and I get them regularly. Please don't get involved with AVIVA Pension, if you can help it. Reviewed on: 11th August 2023

Aviva charges extremely high annual maintenance charges

1
Aviva advertises beware of scammers but the biggest scammers are aviva pension My pension value of £3610 in 2021 has dropped to £2800 in 2023, Markets have gone up worldwide and my unit prices have risen. They advertise AMC of 1.69% and here they charged me £844 as annual maintenance charges. Those whose work place invests into aviva pension I would advise please check your statements and switch to other honest providers as your life time pension money is at stake here. Called the call centre as well and the person just mentioned that I cannot calculate numbers and cant comment on anything ,so much for helpdesk from Aviva Reviewed on: 9th August 2023
