What on earth has happened to Standard Life

Ive always had a high regard for Standard Life ( their people are nice and website and paperwork are great ) and it pains me to do this poor review but communicating with them over the past few years has become unbelievably clunky and drawn out ...... Having just turned 68, yesterday i called them to simply try and find out what potential lifetime annuity rate i would get with them from the large 38 year old plan i have with them ( to which i would also have combined 2 Aviva plans ) but after lots of long waits and almost 3 hours getting passed between numerous people and having to repeat myself numerous times and eventually telling me they could not answer my question and eventually getting bounced to HUB Financial Services who want to arrange another call with me in almost 2 weeks time earliest etc ....... and i still cant get an answer to this very simple question ....... Its quite ridiculous and life is too short when your 68 for this messing about especially compared to dealing with people like Annuity Line ....... What has happened to SL ? ...... A few years back you could call them and sort such things in 20 minutes but now it feels like a bureaucratic government department ....... I would have loved to give SL 4 or 5 stars but after yesterdays experience i feel that 2 is all i can offer. 25/10/25 Update - Well HUB Financial did call me a couple of weeks later as promised ( yesterday ) but only to tell me that " they have issues and it will be another 2 weeks before we can talk " so i told them not to bother ...... what on earth are we Standard Life investors and share holders supposed to do to get simple information from them ?? Its pretty disgusting !! Reviewed on: 25th October 2024
