First Encounter
This was a 1st encounter with the company after filling in a form online. Although I did not want a cold call the site would not let me go unless I supplied a telephone number. I explained in the 1st call that an email with sketchy info would do but they called again anyway.
However, the person who called then, was very courteous, knowledgeable and persuaded me into accepting another call from an expert. All I want is some information, so I am psyching myself up into not being arm-twisted into accepting anything I don't want or need when the heavyweight calls!

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're pleased to hear that you found our team member courteous and knowledgeable. We're sorry that the initial contact did not meet your expectations, particularly around how you expected to receive information following your enquiry.
We'd also like to reassure you that any further call with an adviser is there to give you information about your options, not to pressure you into anything. You're free to ask as many questions as you like and there's no obligation to accept any recommendation, you're not comfortable with.
If you'd like to discuss any of this further, please contact us at enquiries@comparepensionannuity.co.uk and a member of the team will be happy to help.
Best wishes,
The Compare Pension Annuity Team
Call after submitting a web query
I submitted a web query. The next morning I had a brief call with Will. Will was very good at listening to me and explaining what the next steps are. He arranged a meeting with an IFA.
Thanks Will.

Not what the website said would happen.....
I found this service through Google and it looked really helpful. I filled in the form which asked for approx Pension value and Date of Birth as well as contact details. The website states that it would search pension annuity providers (for free) with no obligation. This is not what happened. I got an email saying they had signed me up with an Independent Pension Advisor who would contact me with details. This is not what I expected to happen and I would rather choose my expert independently rather than arbitrarily assigning me to one. I am just starting to consider my pension options and all i want at moment is reading material.

Hi Kate,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the process was not what you were expecting.
At Compare Pension Annuity, our service is designed to help customers explore their pension and annuity options. Once an enquiry is submitted, an adviser at an FCA-regulated company can review the information provided, discuss your requirements and provide personalised support, including relevant pension annuity calculations to help you understand the options available to you.
We appreciate that customers may be at different stages of considering their pension options and that some may initially be looking for information before deciding on their next steps. We value your feedback and regularly review our customer communications to help ensure customers have a clear understanding of the service we provide and what to expect following an enquiry.
If you would like to discuss your experience further, please contact our team at enquiries@comparepensionannuity.co.uk.

Very rushed communication
Very rushed communication, as if he was paid by the word. Repetitive "No problem!" gets on one's nerves: "What's your name?" "Smith", "No problem!" I cannot understand why my name might be a problem.

A painless way of arranging an annuity …
I spoke with these people and they assisted me with setting up an Annuity with Aviva through My Pension Expert.It was well explained and they handled the process from initial inquiry to finalising the first months pension payment. For someone very little idea of financial planning I found them extremely helpful.I would recommend them to anyone in a similar position as myself.

A very pleasant telephone conversation with Mrs Victoria Scott, who asked all the relevant questions in a polite and courteous manner.
I was extremely pleased to hear that she gave the telephone number correctly – saying ‘zero’ for the number ‘nought’ instead of the letter ‘O’, which is not a number, and therefore has no relevance to a telephone number!!
