ReAssure Ltd

I have just had a letter from them - 17/7/15 - saying I am holder of a policy - no idea what they are talking about, but too wary about giving my personal information e.g. date of birth over the phone. The website is not very 'reassuring', but they have given me a policy number so I can have a look through my current paperwork just in case. Years and years ago I did opt out of SERPS but I have no idea who that was with, and I have worked for Public sector for years so have paid into pensions that way. I assume it is that type of thing as I don't have any life insurance etc.

Good chance it is from your contracting out of SERPS then.

If you have had a policy with any of the above in the past, that would help you recognise it's legitimacy, but you're best off calling them regardless.

Add HSBC to the list too.

Might be quicker to name those from whom they have not bought business.......:rotfl:

Its not dodgy. its a requirement that they make an effort to trace people.

What has HSBC got to do with it?

its a trap....

So, you never had a pension. However, it was transferred from HSBC? So, there was a pension then.

Pensions are an investment product issued by insurance companies. Not banks. Even when a bank logo appears in the corner, it is not the bank. And the minute the bank sells the insurance company to a third party then all links with the bank are broken.

Its not a trap. You are being paranoid. Reassure have nothing to do with HSBC.

Many of these lost pensions are from contracted out payments back in the days you could contract out of SERPS. Often no personal contributions were made to them. Just the DSS rebates. People move and forget about them. The insurer has a duty to trace people that have gone missing and that normally gets carried out when the person is close to or in the retirement age range. They nearly always use professional tracing companies.
