Workplace pension - previous employer

lilherbz

Hi,

I am looking for some advice please.

I have just logged into my nest workplace pension which was provided by my previous employer, as i wanted to enquire about moving it to my private pension.

I finished my employment with this company in November 2018 and we both stopped contributing to it December 2018 my last wage. However i have just seen that during July 2019 they have taken a series of payments on one day equating to the amount of £118! Then over the next couple of days they have made a contribution of £6, what on earth is going on?

I would like to know if this sort of thing is allowed? I have had no correspondence from them about a pension over payment or anything. Any help would be most appreciated.

Who has taken the payment ? Your ex employer or NEST ?

In any case the best course of action will be to phone NEST directly or send them an e mail.

What did NEST say when you asked them?

I am sure they will have the answer unlike us who have no way of accessing your account to see why.

We don't know what "this sort of thing" is. It could be overpayments in contributions when you left. i.e. when you left they didnt stop paying into the pension for a period and recalled the overpayments.
