Hello!
I've recently left my job that had a company pension and the company is being less than helpful in advising me my options in terms of transferring the pension.can anyone point me in the correct direction-I appreciate more details will be needed from me for any real help,but let me know what is needed and I will happily provide them!
Thanks in advance

It's unlikely that the company has the skills needed to be able to advise you about your pension - that's Independent Financial Adviser territory.

Do you have to move it, or is it an option to leave it where it is?

Is it a final salary or a money purchase scheme? Do you know its rough value?

You might get more useful responses if you post over on the pensions board.

I would have thought you need to contact the Pension Fund trustees for the scheme you were in.

normally, when you leave a co scheme you get a letter telling you what your options are.

if you have a new job you could therefore transfer these to a new scheme, or leave them where you are. But you need to ask the pension co or expect that letter in next few weeks then take it from there
