    Questions which might save you some frustration, depending on your answers:

    1. how long ago did you work for the concession within Debenhams? Their final salary scheme closed to future accrual in 2006, so  would not have admitted new members unless you'd joined before that
    2. If you were working for a concession, are you sure you were employed by Debenhams rather than the concession?
    3. Are you quite sure it was actually the Debenhams company pension you paid into - do you have any paperwork dating from the time of your employment, or any pensions-related paperwork you've received from the pension scheme since then? 

    If you could give the name of the concession (no reason not to, even though this is a public forum - you are simply stating a fact), that might help.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
