Poor Service
14 minutes waiting for my call to be answered. When finally answered, I was told they were too busy to speak with me at present and that somebody would call me back tomorrow. I received the call back on a Friday at 4.55pm, when I was not at home and had no papers with me to refer to regarding my queries. Consequently, I’m still trying to speak to someone.
Dismally poor service from Phoenix.

Pension transfer
Easy to get through and speak to advisers who were helpful and informative and arranged a callback at my convenience. The process of moving pension funds to a drawdown product within the group was fast and efficient. Excellent service.
