Tired of chasing them.
Really struggled to get a specific advisor on the phone. Repeatedly emailed/rang the contact number for this. No call back this morning when they had messaged through the portal saying they would. This is upsetting. I really feel I should speak with someone before re-choosing how the money I pay into my pension is invested but I cannot do this without fully understanding what the return has been on what I have already put in to help make an informed decision. I feel let down.

Hi Dawn,
We understand your frustration with the tax implications of your monthly payments and the transfer of your pension. I can assure you that you did give digital authority for the transfer of your pension, as we wouldn't be able to do this without your authorisation.
We strive to provide clear and accurate information to our clients, and it seems we fell short in this instance. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our communication and ensure that our client's needs are met.
Please feel free to contact your dedicated Pension Adviser if you need help with these matters or anything else.
Kind Regards,

Be ready for the threats if you're not on top of your messages INSTANTLY
While the potential pension management service might be pretty good, and the dashboard etc easy enough to use, the communications, particularly the automated notifications about reading and responding to messages, is frankly, hostile, and often threatening. For example, not daring to log in immediately triggers what amounts to an avalanche of increasingly threatening and hostile reminders. There is little that is "friendly" about threatening to cut off access because a message has been unread for a week. What about people who are ill? Or on holiday? Or otherwise indisposed? No consideration to customers whatsoever. No doubt will "allocate responsibility" to systems and processes - but you know what, how about a human touch? No? Didn't think so.
Last year, no complaints. Since the changes though, wow, horrendous. Was pretty happy, now? Pretty miffed.
Could be better. Should be more polite. Must be less hostile to deal with.

Hi JoAnn,
Thank you for your message. You gave us the authority to transfer your pension after we found it for you, please rest assured we wouldn't be able to transfer a pension without prior authorisation. I believe someone from the team has gone through this with you.
We value your feedback and will use it to improve our communications. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Profile Pensions have illegally…
Profile Pensions have illegally withheld my pension funds following a transfer out request made at the start of November. Initially they ignored the transfer request altogether, fobbing me off left, right and centre, however even after admitting I have requested this, no action has been taken to get this sorted. They are unreachable with a receptionist who refuses to transfer any calls, and make nothing but fake promises to shut you up. This is a SCAM of a company, for your own sake please stay away.

Hi Edward,
We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience you've experienced during this process. We understand your concerns and want to clarify that we have not withheld your pension funds illegally. The initial request was unfortunately delayed due to additional documentation required by the platform, as you have discussed with our colleagues. While this caused an unforeseen delay, please be assured that we are actively working with you to complete the transfer as soon as possible.
We understand how this has been frustrating for you, and we deeply regret any communication issues you have encountered. We take all feedback seriously and are continuously working to improve both our processes and the level of customer service provided. To ensure better handling of future requests, we’ve implemented enhanced training for our team and have improved our internal procedures to avoid such delays moving forward.
Please know that we are committed to resolving this and getting the transfer completed promptly once we receive the necessary forms. Rest assured, we are not delaying this intentionally, and we are dedicated to ensuring that everything is processed in line with our regulatory requirements.
We value your feedback, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out directly.
Kind regards,
Carina Chambers

What I like about Profile Pensions is ease of access to somebody to discuss any issues also easy access to my account. I also like the progress my money has made recently.

EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
As a result of my Sons recent death contact with Pension Profile was required to confirm his pension account. Rang on three consecutive working days to be informed "nobody available will ring you back". On the fourth working day somebody did ring but could not wait for the phone to be answered. The subsequent following two calls to Pension Profile produced absolutely no result, just the usual brick wall. Cannot remember the last time I have experienced such appalling and disinterested customer service - BE AWARE !
