Can I get the money back?

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the write place to be.

I paid into a company pension a few years ago at an old job. I was only at the job for about 3 years and I know that the amount I get per week when I retire will be very very small.

Is there anyway I can get the money back I paid into it now. Its a couple of hundred pounds which I really need write now?

  • As far as I'm aware the only time you can withdraw it is to deposit it into another pension. Hopefully someone will be able to offer better advice though.

    I think you may be bettering posting this one on the pensions board - they may have more of an idea. I think you can only transfer it as IA says although it may be possible to get your net contributions back
