What to do after?

I have 3 previous employers and I don't know who my pension is with them. I went on the Gov website and sent off letters to some of them that might be, but I've had no luck so far. Let's say I can't find who they are with, what are my next options? Anything? Or just simply lost forever?

    The same answers again as you have asked this last year:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6454948/finding-out-where-pensions-are-at-from-previous-employers

    What are the names of the employers for a start? Do you not have any paperwork at all? Have you worked for public bodies or private companies? Do you have any former colleagues you can get in touch with?

    Keep trying really.

    You appear to be young enough (from other thread) to make use of the pensions dashboard when it finally arrives in 2026. 
    In the meantime don’t worry - let what you (may) have grow… & keep adding more to your current pension.

    And when you change jobs next time - record some details of this current pension! :)
