Disgusting

1
Inherited a pension over a year ago and still waiting for the income to be released. Terrible customer services and no call backs as promised. Spent hours chasing paperwork that had been sent numerous times. 14 months on received part of the amount as it had been incorrectly taxed. Promised I will receive the income asked for originally and the balance not holding my breath have lost all faith in them. Terrible company. Stay well clear of these muppets.

Terrible returns, policies and practices

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.
