Removal of Stakeholder charge cap by L and G on July 31st

Hi all,

I know there was some discussion on the Removal of Stakeholder charge cap by Legal and General on July 31st this year when it was announced last year.
I am affected by this, but I haven't taken any action yet, and there just over 2 months to go.

I was wondering if anyone has had this checked out by IFAs and/or then taken any positive steps to move/cash in, or whether people are just leaving there pensions where they are with L and G.

I am still a little scared by the phrase in the letter that says "This may reduce your plan's value and over time it could reduce the value to zero".

Thanks.

    Personally, I have avoided L&G. So, therefore avoided this issue. Every L&G pension I have come across has been easily justified transferring it out. I guess that gives you my opinion.

    Which is actually not technically possible but is an automatic warning.
