Worst pension provider

They make it hard to transfer my pension out.
The fund they run is awful or non-existent, my money did not grow at all in one year outside my own contributions.
Their website is awful, and sometimes you randomly can't use their site at night.

People pension to NEST

Before i was with NEST i was with the peoples pension hqd been for few years then when i started my new job 4 yrs ago i was addmitted into NEST i never found time to transffer my other pension pot into NEST and was unsure how to.
Then i went onto the app and followed the instructions that was basically mapped out for me. I had no idea how easy it was you just put in details from your old pension and NEST did the rest within a month my old pension was added to my NEST pension. Fast easy to use would highly reccomend.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking customer service. So unprofessional.
1 letter they sent was dated the 17th April, it arrived 13 days later.
I have requested a withdrawal before my 55th birthday so they sent me all the correct forms and I returned them. On my 55th birthday my account should of read documents verified, we are now on the 5th of May and it is still saying 'waiting for documents' so I called them to ask what extra they need, nithing I was told, but it still says awaiting documents.

Now apparently they sent another letter dated the 29th, still no letter.

More phone calls and e mails, nothing back !
