Rude and unhelpful

Spoke to a rude, unhelpful and cold advisor when calling for advice about a complicated pension situation for which I could not find any advice on the Internet. Kept interrupting me whilst I was trying to explain the situation. Couldn't even just wait a minute to let me finish speaking. Told me my question was not pensions related and that he could not help me. End of conversation.

Sign posted me to citizens advice who could not help me. Waste of time all round, not did not feel like the advisor truly listened to or understood my question, since he kept cutting me off. Very cold behavior, and I cannot imagine how my elderly grandparents would have felt trying to speak to him about a stressful pensions situation. Would not call again.

What a great service that is provided by pension wise/money helper. I had not a clue about my pension options but I spoke with a very knowledgeable gentleman who was very patient with me and understood how difficult pensions are to navigate. He gave very concise information and helped me understand how my pensions worked and what I could expect from dealing with my pensions advisor. I would recommend anyone who is struggling to understand their pension get in touch with these people. It’s free and it’s easy to do so.

The Moneyhelper /Pensionwise option is a real must when approaching retirement.

The Moneyhelper /Pensionwise conversation is a really comprehensive session and everyone heading for pension age should take it up. The chat can last up to an hour and you get an email summary of links and other information to refer to. And it's free!

Phone call started at 9.20am

Phone call started at 9.20am, ended at 10.35am. He went at everything at such a pace that there was no way we could write it down! We understood none of it. We were spoken to like we should know everything!! If we knew everything, we wouldn't have needed the call. Very disappointed,left in tears, and absolutely exhausted. Honestly, I'm broken here 😢 😭

I found MoneyHelper to be an excellent service. It provided me with the answers to my pension questions. The advisors were professional throughout and the response to my phone calls was prompt. It is a government backed service that I felt that I could trust. The service is free of charge and I was able to call back to clarify my situation after my first conversation. I felt that I received accurate answers relating to my circumstances and without the need to appoint an fee paying service. I would certainly recommend this service to you. I found it helpful to have my relevant documents ready and my questions prepared in my mind before my first call.

Transferring pensions

I was looking for guidance on whether to transfer previous work pensions to my new work pension provider. The agent I spoke to was very knowledgeable and made it clear he couldn’t tell me what to do. He gave me the questions I needed to ask my pension providers to determine whether the transfer would be better for my money and as a result I have been in contact with them and have received the relevant information to be able to make my decision. As someone who finds
Pensions difficult to understand in terms of how they are invested, the agent was extremely helpful personable.
