Review of the Royal London, Pension:

Terrible customer service

1
I moved to the USA. Despite months of back and forth I now have zero access to anything to do with my 2 pension policies. I made a complaint, they closed it because they couldnt provide a resolution. Response times are 20 to 25 working days, the customer service is so poor I would never recommend this company. I still don't have access and cant even change my retirement date.

Appalling Customer Sevice

1
Customer service isn't great. Had zero response to email. Can't get through on the phone. Their interactive system isn't great, nor do they explain it to you. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful, had to keep calling back yo get help. Reviewed on: 13th February 2024

Terrible returns, policies and practices

1
Terrible returns, policies and practices. Difficult to use website and app. Changing investments or policy details was extremely challenging. I would have more in my pension if my contributions were literally kept under my mattress for the last decade. Reviewed on: 10th February 2024

Poor customer service experience.

Poor customer service experience. No help whatsoever trying to retrieve information regarding my previous pension scheme. Dealing through portal which is very difficult to use and totally not user friendly. Would not recommend. Reviewed on: 6th February 2024
