Tracing pensions when you many not have kept good records

  • All this happened about 6 years ago and whilst I may have kept some pension letters I doubt I will have payslips etc confirming each contribution.

    What is the best way forward when everyone is simply finger pointing and everyone says they dont have the information?

    Well, notwithstanding the problem about the previous pension contributions, your best way forwards from now on is to never, ever discard a payslip, a P60, an annual pension statement or a pension-scheme rules booklet.

    You simply cannot afford not to maintain records, because those who have a liability to you cannot be trusted to maintain them.
