    They are known as "Crapita" in that responsible and informative organ called 'Private Eye'

    We're talking about Capita Hartshead here? I think there is another Capita out there. I work with their consultancy arm only and I think they are doing a really good job. Hence can't really comment on their administration services.
    All views are my own and not those of the Pension Quality Mark.

    When Addtional Voluntary Contributions (AVC) were brought up I asked whether they had any advantage over ISAs, the answer was "no". This key point is not mentioned in the booklet.
    Just as well, because the answer is "yes, maybe" assuming they mean contributions above the minimum needed for full employer matching. Have a read of the ISA vs Pensions sticky topic.
    To be fair he didn't exactly say 'No' and but admitted that ISAs are more flexible.
    That's a much better answer. :)
