[FONT="]That hasn't been my experience. I'm living off savings / DC pot and have opened a TSB and two Tesco current accounts since I retired. I put my occupation as retired and my income as roughly what I'm transferring annually into my "active" current account.If your retirement involves living of savings/DC pot then make sure you open up all the bank/saving accounts before you finish work.
Financial institutions are poor when considering these as income hence you may be viewed as having no income.
The biggest problem I’ve had was acting as a guarantor for my student son's rental. The company doing the vetting couldn't deal with the way that I give myself an "income" and I ended up having to (reluctantly) supply 12 months of bank statements and then talk them through the transfers in that were my "income".[/FONT]0 -
