Some inefficiencies

There seemed an excessive delay in getting my annuity set up, and there is a distinct lack of communication in relation to an aspect on my account, so over 2 months later, and 2 phone calls my issue still hasn't been resolved - quite disappointing really!

Services

Pension Services: The service provided in relation to my pension has not been to an acceptable standard and has been affected by a number of issues.

Life Insurance Services: Updating and amending information relating to my life insurance has also been unnecessarily difficult and complicated.

shambolic

This is proving to be a very annoying and frustrating experience. I only signed up a couple of weeks ago, so decided to take another policy out, havent a clue whats gone on here but now i cant access the rewards page its just a symbol with a present crossed out and now this morning i received an invite for the e-card for the second one and i cant even access it whats that all about ??!! of course theres no email to contact anyone and the website itself is terribly designed and awkward and you just get a bot that sends you round in circles constantly - yes theres a number but i work early every day and i dont have the time to ring up - i have a stocks and shares isa with l and g and its been plain sailing but this is a total shambles I deal with people not virtual assistants - I will find life insurance with a site that is contactable- Cancelling.

Good morning Adam. Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback.
I'm sorry you've had this poor experience with your life insurance application and the incentive reward. I'm happy to look into what's happened here.
Please can you email your policy number to protection.socialmedia@landg.com so I can do this.
Kind regards,

Very quickly answered. Very easy to understand and clarification given if needed. No rushing and answered all the questions I had and send me all the necessary docs by post and on mail.

They would have had 5 stars

They would have had 5 stars, as once I actually got to talk to someone, the service was excellant, clear, easy to understand and very helpful. The 1 star deduction was for the initial wait time-it felt very long.
