Royal London Pension reviews (93)

waiting on my pay out for 25% of my pension

several phone calls and emails and not getting answers. phone drops out when you call. I was told when I finally got a call that they are waiting on my works response to a Question. Employer had sent the email back and has details in my file. I informed Royal London and I still have no reply. As usual the phone drops out when you ring. My neighbour has informed me that he has been waiting since April and is getting the same delaying tactics. He also got sent documents that belonged to another Royal London client with all their personal details. Give me my money please Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

4 months and still waiting to draw on a straight forward pension.

So i desided to draw on a pension, 5 weeks waiting for an appointment with them, paperwork should have arrived in 3 weeks it took 6 with loads of phone calls in between. Sent it back payout should have been 4-6 weeks, now week 9. You can not get though to them waited 3 times for an hour on the phone, for it just to cut of automatically. However once you do the staff are very friendly and try to help. But 4 months on nothing. Reviewed on: 10th July 2022

Customer Service is non existent

Customer service is completely non existent. They ignore correspondence unless chased and then it takes weeks to provide further responses. When raised as an issue you just get a stroppy response. AVOID Reviewed on: 5th July 2022

Terrible service

We have decided to cash out some of our pension .. we were told it was coming last week… checked our account only to find £1000 payed in when we was expecting a large lump sum .. contacted Royal London they have now delayed us again !!! So not sure when the remainder is getting paid in .. constantly ringing to chase up .. left on hold for ages!!! We urgently need our funds .. they have put us in a real predicament!!! DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM ..they are aware of the shocking reviews yet still continue to make us all wait .. STAY AWAY FROM THEM IF YOU WANT TO INVEST !!! Reviewed on: 28th May 2022

Transferred pension

Since transferring a pension into my Royal London pension, it has gone from making money consistantly to losing money everyday. This has gone.from 9.1% increase for the life of the policy and now down to 4%. I now feel I've made a very big mistake losing £100's of daily. What are they doing with it. Now only an increase of £2,000 in 11 years Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

AVOID Royal London Pension scemes

AVOID Royal London pensions. I have had a shockingly bad time with them and have received terrible shoddy service. For the last 12 months I have sent numerous emails and had numerous phone calls regarding a mistake that they have make on their part in regards to my first name. This situation has still not been fixed and they have no empathy whatsoever with the stress that it has caused me. I am in the process of transferring this pension to another company but I cannot do this until they fix my first name (a very simple thing to do) Avoid this company like the plague (pay close attention to the other reviews on here) I will be taking legal action as they are clearly holding on to my money, this is an untrustworthy and fraudulent company! “Big red flags people” BEWARE!!
