“JUST A NIGHTMARE ”

Written on: 28/03/2012 by JimB123 (1 review written)

I Cashed in 3 polices that were with Aviva as there performance was just dreadful. I moved them into a SIPP and that is were the nightmare started. I can't tell you how bad Aviva are, my experience with them is they don't give a dam about policy holders,they are incompetent, slow, put every obstacle in your way, make huge mistakes which affect you not them. Do not place money with them, its ok when they are taking your money but thats were it ends. I have been fighting them now for 27 months & they don't care one bit that there delays in paying out my invested money with them cost me £8500.00. BE WARNED STAY AWAY

Pension share pickup, rare as it may be, is never free money. Like any other emmpeylont benefit, including health insurance and the employer's share of our PERS contributions, it's paid for with funds that the employer would otherwise be able to pay directly to the employee. Salaries and benefits both fall under the budget line item labeled personnel cost. Don't let the smoke and mirrors distract you. None of these benefits is a taxpayer ripoff. All are part of what we're paid to serve the public. To put it bluntly, that's our own money, folks.

My personal recommendations is for you to go and complain to Financial Ombudsman Service London. Collect and give all the faccts to them.

You can write an email to
complaint.info@financial-omudsman.org.uk

Also, there is Pension Omudsman and Consumer Which magazine that you can approach. Find contact details using Google search for these sites.

Best of Luck
Hope you find the right solution and justice for your compaint.
