Private Pensions??

[deeian]

Approx 13 years ago I was advised to 'opt out' of the NHS superannuation scheme and to start paying into a personal pension. Due to changes in personal circumstances (mainly lack of funds) I stopped paying into this and it was frozen. I have now been told that I can claim from them and have my current pension boosted by the equivalent of what I lost by leaving the NHS which was a better pension to start with. Problem is I don't have any idea of how to contact them. It was with General Portfolio who now no longer exist. If anyone has any idea who they were taken over by I would be grateful. Thanks

Pension Tracing Service

Why trace a pension scheme?

If you think you may have an old pension, but are not sure of the details, the Pension Tracing Service can usually help by tracing it for you.

 

It can be easy, for instance, if you have changed jobs a number of times through your working life to have lost contact with a previous employer and their pension scheme.

 

The Pension Tracing Service has access to a database of over 200,000 occupational and personal pension schemes and can be used, free of charge, to search for a scheme.

 

We may be able to provide you with an up-to-date contact address for a pension scheme and you can then use this information to contact the pension provider to pursue any financial entitlement.

 

If you would like us to trace a pension scheme for you, phone 0845 6002 537 (Textphone 0845 3000 169) for an application form or complete our online form. Or write to us at:
