Poor pension system landed me with a £32,000 tax bill
1
Tried to make a £300 withdrawal from my pension pot of £73,000. Selected the pot to suture from and Entered the £300 into the amount of withdrawal. Then clicked confirm. It then stated I had withdrawn my entire pension of £73k without any warning or double confirmation. This was on Saturday and they were closed until 9am Monday.
Rang at 9am monday and told the payment had been processed and sent be reversed. Received £41k this morning so £32k tax deducted!
This has put me in serious future financial difficulty
The advisor on the phone admitted other people had the same problem
You have been warned.
