Repeated withdrawals take all the same length of time
My experience started out with telephone contact to complete the first section; but, for the remainder, I had to wait until the adminisation was completed - which took some time. As it happens, I was not in any hurry so that was alright. I chanced signing into my L&G account after two weeks of waiting for the cash to arrive and noticed an update that the cash was being organised. I would have been more satisfied if I had been sent an email to advise that this notification was available.
Good service and better website
Once the instructions were set the process was seamlessly executed. Additional information would be useful to retirees especially around the area of needing to fund the gap between leaving the company and being able to receive payment from drawdown (bridging finance)

Phone call experience
My phone call was very easy because the Man at L&G was very helpful, and his questions easy to understand.

Pension Draw Down
Absolutely flawless from start to finish, everything was completed on time. The whole process was effortless all i had to do was make one telephone call and reply to one email. Everything completed in the 5 to 15 days as advertised.
A very thoughful and caring team indeed.
When dealing with a 50+ plan claim, the customer service team really were fantasic and what could have been a traumatic call was actually about as pleasent as it could be. A very thoughful and caring team indeed.
They were very patient
They were very patient, very kind, explaining everything to me, I'm no financial guru, it was only a small amount from years ago, I'd forgotten about it.Thankyou
Pension pot lost in space
I transferred a pension from a private company to Legal & General 22 years ago. When I reached the age to take out the lump sum I was entitled to, I contacted Legal & General. First they said they had no record of me, then they informed me my pension was no longer with them. That was news to me as I never received a notification from them. When I wanted to submit a subject access request to find out what had happened, Legal & General told me they would not have kept any records.
I have now been diagnosed with cancer, meaning I will never benefit from the money I paid in for years. Someone is enjoying it, however, that was not the purpose of my payments.
So if you are thinking of paying into a private pension or life insurance, consider this: are you happy that you or your loved ones will never see that money again or would you rather invest it more securely?
In response to the review L & G now want me to send them the full details so they can 'look into this for me'. They have the full details, yet they want me to waste the time I have left to do their work.
Reliable and trustworthy - not!
