Qualifying CU policy running since 1988.....they have offered just under £600!!!

Qualifying CU policy running since 1993...they have offered £200!!!

Something smells rotten over this reattribution.

And what do they mean by a minimum payout of £200..will they offer more??

The biggest thing taken into consideration is the value of the investment in the fund and then timescale.

Small regular plans, like endowments, start at zero and takes years to build up in value and even then most endowments are actually small values when you compare them to some pensions and investment bonds

I had the offer this week and mine is through the company pension scheme I have been paying into.

I have been offered £300, but one of my work colleagues has been offered nearly £2,000:eek:
I am just assuming the amount you are offered is dependent upon how much you have paid into the pension scheme. Does anyone know if I am correct in my assumption?

Answered in the post above yours.

I'm sure there is a formula as to who gets what, but it would seem from previous posts, my offer is very good. Ive got an endowment (originally supposed to cover a £100k mortgage) started in 1994, due to mature in 2014. My offer was £1626. Do the contributions made determine how much the incentive payment is?

Yes and it's not an incentive payment - its an extra return on the money you have invested in Aviva.

£350 offered to us. Voted Yes as the endowment only has a few years left and chances are this won't happen again before it matures.

Surely it is an incentive payment. It is an incentive for us to give up future rights to other special distributions. If it was not an incentive, there would be no vote on whether to accept it; we would all just get a bonus, which is what the recent special distribution is.

My 5 packs today ( postman happy! .. NOT)

£200 x3 ( one of these is for a small CU GPP staff pension !)
£390 ( pension transfer)
£450 ( mtg endowment)
There's one more payment due for a policy already matured - only expecting £200 on that one.

I had one phone up yesterday and tell me his was just over £1700. I have two more over £2000 and I estimate that one other will phone me any day now and based on the others, his will be over £3000.

What about if you have a pension with them? I don't understand what it will do to my policy???? Does anyone else know?
