Virgin Pension-Taking money out

I have a Virgin pension, and have been paying in £10 per month(with some breaks)for about the past 2 years.

I want to take some money out, could I do this?

How do I do it?

    Hi ciare

    You can't take any money out until you reach aged 50 under the pension rules.The salesman should have told you this when he sold you the pension.

    Save in an ISA if you think you'll need access to the money.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    Virgin pensions are not sold. They are bought.

    I wouldnt recommend one anyway. They are easily beaten on charges and have a limited investment range.
