Excellent service

The customer service that I received verbally and written was excellent. It was a pleasant surprise to deal directly with humans rather than bots.
Easy access to communication was easy too.
Thank you for your support

Good Morning

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I appreciate at the current time our Onboarding Calculations team have a longer turnaround regarding quotations and account queries due to the manual nature of the schemes.

They are working hard to respond to all requests as soon as possible, but thank you for your patience and I apologise for any delay caused.

Many thanks

Why do company pensions offer such poor returns

How can a company so big have such poor returns on their investments.

Good morning Mr Sewell,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

The transfer completed over 11 days ago and we sent you confirmation of this by email at the time.

As the funds have already been transferred, I would recommend contacting the receiving scheme directly, as this now appears to be a delay at their end. They will be best placed to provide an update on the status of your transfer and any outstanding processing times.

Thank you
Scott

Not recommend to put in l&g

I reached out to Legal & General customer care regarding a transfer made in error. Although I was told there would be a £35 fee to reverse it and I agreed, no one followed up with me. When I chose not to proceed with the transfer, they still attempted to charge me £35 to restore my pension plan. This was disappointing and felt unprofessional. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend their services.

Good morning Vikram,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience regarding the transfer and the subsequent charge. This is certainly not the impression we want to leave with our customers. We understand how frustrating it must be to feel that your concerns were not addressed and that you were charged for a service you chose not to proceed with. We would like to look into this further for you.

Please email digitalresponseteam@landg.com

Thanks
