Hello, thanks all for comments. I have a very specific reason for not wanting to be in the company pension which I will not explain. At the moment it's not suitable. 

I don't check my payslips as my earnings never change, I don't get paid overtime and the like so it is easier to check the bank. 

My main concern here is that the 30 day cooling off period is not enough. If you have accidentally re-enrolled to the company pension due to a lack of adequate communication from the provider then you would only notice on being paid which for many people is the end of the month meaning you 30 day period had expired. 

This should be extended.

All because of your very specific reason (too hard to explain) to refuse your employer paying money for your retirement...? Not going to happen I'm afraid, re-enrolment rules are deliberate government policy for well over a decade now.

OP didn't say too hard to explain, but did not want to explain.

I'm guessing impending divorce and not wanting to share pension with ex. Can't share money that's already spent.

The OP has been opting out for years, hence the re-enrolment issue...? I appreciate AE employer contributions aren't much, but it's effectively pay the OP has been refusing to take and won't ever get back.
