Cobbler_tone said:I thought I would try for my dad. He had his NI number and said "I worked on the railways from 1957-59 and the buses from 59-61" After establishing he had no idea what either company was actually called I gave up.
He doesn't need the money and has no idea if he had a pension with either. Thankfully he stayed at his next and final place for 40 years.
Back then, 2/3 years service wouldn't have given him any actual pension rights. Either these schemes were non-contributory, or he would have been refunded his contributions when he left.

OurDoris said:Hello, can anybody recommend a company who I can use to retrieve company pensions please, I have various with different companies spanning 30 years but worried about submitting all my info online and being scammed.Started online form with PensionsAdviceUk, but have not had the courage to submit it.
thank you for any recommendations
Never needed it myself, but they purport to be able to trace both DB and DC schemes and then provide you with detailled summaries for each, all for no obligation and no charge. A very large reputable ftse 100 insurance company, so should be zero risk of them trying to scam you.
If you try it, let the forum know how you get on. If you obtain a favouable outcome, maybe helpful to others.
