Easy access to a knowledgeable person

Easy to get through to a knowledgeable person who gave clear answers that helped me decide what to do. They were clear on the extent of their knowledge and where their answers left points I still needed to look into.

MoneyHelper is an incredible service

MoneyHelper is an incredible service. Very easy to access. The professionalism and knowledge given outstanding. Pensions can be so complicated to understand; I could not have made decisions about my retirement without their help.

Great service, thank you.

Called off the cuff to cancel my PensionWise appointment due to a funeral. The information and professionalism of the guy I spoke with was awesome. He helped me to make my own
”informed” decisions. Great service, thank you.

Awful experience

Awful experience. Felt patronised and the guidance was absolutely useless. I asked to end the call after 10 minutes as I got a little bit upset. The advisor was awful and had no patience. Horrible experience.

First class service.

Made my appointment online which was really straightforward. Received reminders as the appointment approached and a list of info to get ready to make it easier for the advisor to help me, things like finding out what my state pension entitlement is and the current value of my personal/work pension pots. The call came right on time, used the password I gave them so i knew it was legitimate and not a scammer. The advisor works for the CAB and was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. I explained my situation and then we went through my options, explaining my tax liability and I had all my questions answered. The call lasted an hour and I would absolutely recommend the service as it was first class.

They are unable to help.

Phoned as I had one question regarding finances. The person asked many questions then put me on hold while they spoke then ended the call. Tried to call back twice but both times the call was ended as soon as it was picked up. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time.
