Hello new friends.

Just joined.
I would like to share my honest experience of dealing with Hargreaves Lansdown now that the affair has reached its conclusion (spoiler:it doesn't end well).
Am I in the right place here?

If you want to Praise YES or Warn Yes Or just Vent / whinge Yes .

If it's wanting some further info then the banking or savings forums are better. If it's a good old whinge then we're all ears....

Thank you both.

I'm at the end of the road with the financial ombudsman who has found in their favour; I'm expecting them to publish their decision next week, and then I shall post a link and explain what happened.

My intention is to warn people, hopefully to make better decisions than I did. It concerns a pension, so it may chime with others.

Good to warn others but be aware people don’t hold back on this board and will give opinions..which you may not need or want.

If it's pension related then post it on the pension board rather than the mad cat lady rant about never reading the terms and conditions board.

That's what ZingPowZing did. It was moved here.

They presumably don't want trailers and teasers there.

God only knows why the OP thought it would be a good idea to provide a weeks warning that he was going to post something with (one hopes) some actual, relevant, content.

I hope he does not start a trend.

BoP interprets for most of us who cannot wait.


OP transferred their DB Pension scam at age 55, spent his dosh and wants recompense. We await his good news!


Don't worry, his good fortune will soon go up in smoke like the last bag of cash.


Dave, aged 58 and a quarter!

Thank you for the tart replies. It gives an idea of the tone of the forum.

Having been told it takes c six weeks for the ombudsman to publish his findings; I shall look forward to a lively exchange when I can provide a link.
