Waste of time and taxpayers money.

Completely useless.
A waste of taxpayers money.
Took them 3 months to send an email.
The company they were supposed to be investigating (For basically theft.) but as the company they wer supposed to be investigating are linked to the government they said that the government is basically allowed to steal your money and give it to a company that will not return your money until you retire.

Shockingly shoddy service

Shockingly shoddy service. This organisation seem to have limited resources and limited interest in securing redress for individuals whose pensions contributions have been withheld by unscrupulous employers. Beware your employer may simply not pay your contributions into your pension account and the pension provider and pension regulator will do nothing to protect you. Your only port of call is the Pensions Ombudsman who will then avoid action for months waiting for you to lose the will to keep chasing. I have little to no confidence I or the many other employees whose accounts have been defrauded will ever get paid. Not a lot of money in question but infuriating that it can be stolen with no protection from various state funded organisations that purport to do just that; The pensions Ombudsman, The Pension Advisory Service, The Pensions Regulator; none of them can speak to each other or retrieve the employees money it seems.
