Review of the Royal London, Pension:

Awful service

Non responsive, slow, very poor basic admin. Can’t blame covid for just being slow and inefficient Reviewed on: 25th February 2022

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

Royal london lost £5000 of my pension in 1 year utter disgrace Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

IT'S MY MONEY!

phone call after phone call. option after option. you have a list of 5 options BUT ALL require you buying another product to obtain any of the funds. My understanding, is that we are all allowed to draw down on our pensions once we turn 55 - not with these jokers. then add to injury, that since they purchased my old CIS pension, I've lost over £60,000 - DISGUSTNG! Reviewed on: 19th December 2023

customer service

Nobody at Royal London seems to know what they are doing. I have spent two days being passed from pillar to post to get some information, that is when I am not on hold for half an hour and then give up. I still haven't been able to get any sense out of anyone. Shocking service. Reviewed on: 27th November 2023

Stressed

Put in for my personal pensions May 2023. After months of filling in paperwork .Then they wanted more and more info that I had already sent then finally given dates that it would be in my account . That's right its not in my bank . .Now even more stressed. What does that tell you Reviewed on: 30th October 2023

Very poor

Don't believe there advisers they lie through there back teeth . I was told I would have my pension in 4 weeks . Still waiting . Don't believe there excuses Reviewed on: 27th October 2023
