Sell my Pension ????

I have a pension with Lloyds TSB and Scottish Widows.

Times are hard being self employed and I wish to sell my pension.

It is worth 12grand ish.

Is it possible to sell it or transfer it to some one who will ?

    It isnt yours to sell.

    There is no legal way to access your pension under age 55.

    If you're 55 or older you can take a quarter of it as a tax free lump sum. The remainder could be used to buy an annuity to provide ongoing income or could be left invested to provide an income now or later.
