NEST Opt Out

At the end of December, I received notification that my employer has signed me up for NEST. I already have a pension plan and NEST seems a bit conservative so I went to opt out. The web and the telephone system wouldn't do it saying I was ineligable to opt out which is odd as I should be able to up until close to the end of this month. I stopped the contributions which, I hope, amounts to the same thing but I wondered if this is a system fault or if anyone else had the same issue.

If you’re automatically enrolled but you don’t want to be a member you can opt out of NEST during your opt-out period. This is usually around one month from the date your employer enrols you. We’ll tell you exactly when the opt-out period starts and ends in the letter we send you after you’re enrolled.
