    HL pays a little interest on cash balances in the pension account. The 10600 can be paid regularly and as one or more lump sums, mix as you like.

    You might see whether a 0% for purchases credit card can free up some money by deferring paying for things for a while, repaying from the pension money.

    James - thanks again, given me some food for thought there..


    Sods law, just changed my credit card, had been using an Amex nectar card to accrue loads of points, but just got the preferred rewards gold card, as i wanted to boost my Virgin Flying Club balance.


    Anyway, i will aim to get something in place ( pension ) by the time my mortgage rate decreases ( Oct this year ).


    Will revisit this thread when i need more advice.


    Cheers
