Who are Target Professional Services?

I have received a letter saying they need up dated detail, their letter does mention a pension scheme I am associated with.

I have googled, can find their website but am always wary of contacting anyone and giving details away.

Any information would be useful thanks.

So ask the pension scheme if it is anything to do with them?

They are a tracing company. They are used by a number of pension schemes to track down people who have gone missing but have a pension. It is a requirement for pension schemes to do this.

The company and the pension are two different things. So, just beacuse the company goes under, doesnt mean the pension goes.

Thanks, yes, I understand that but this pension was agreed and the pension transferred to a large pension company over 10 years ago. This has since been transferred to a SIPP which has been in drawdown for 2 years.

So, I still don't understand if this is a fishing letter or whether contact should be made. Opinion?

It is not a fishing letter. They are a genuine tracing service. They are paid by life or pension company firm to find people. It may not be the pension you think it is.
