No, you cannot use the pension plan as security for a loan, as the tax-rules under which all pensions operate prohibit this.
In the small print you should find a wording something like "you cannot assign or charge the plan and you cannot use it as collateral for a loan".
Some lenders used to allow you to borrow off the back of the tax free cash you might get at retirement, but those loans were usually secured on a property anyway.
In connection with borrowing, your pension is pretty much useless, I'm afraid.
Are you in discussions with your lender? Have you posted on the Debt-Free Wannabe board?Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac
