Hi,

I'm trying to find a pension. I was a contractor for a short time around 20 years ago. I used a company (Can't remember the name) to do my tax, national insurance and a pension.

I signed up for Gretel to try and find the pension but Gretel has found nothing. I thought it would find something, Even the pensions I already know about.

I've added previous addresses and national insurance number.

Is this the normal experience or do I have an issue with my Gretel setup?

Never heard of Gretel to be honest and after a quick look at it, wholly reliant on selected services willing only to supply edited databases and majority of it seems to be banks and building societies. So… not really surprising to be honest considering it is mostly designed to track down dormant bank accounts (Once I googled it though).

Do you literally got no paperworks relating regarding pensions then? You must have some paperworks or payments to the relevant schemes back then?

I have not been able to find anything so far. I've moved house twice and a new bank since then. I was in it for less than a year. I'm not expect a huge sum but it would be good to move it to somewhere I can easily track it. Better in my pocket.

Are you certain that you didn't get a refund of contributions at the time you left?

I have tried to create an account for Gretel but it does not respond after installing name & passwords etc.

I too have just signed up for Gretel - nil return! I'm looking to trace some old shares (Panmure).

I'm starting to wonder if they are the only beneficiary, having captured my details!
