Poor quality correspondence. Wasteful postage communications

It took some time to have a representative on the call.
When I requested branded, printed copies of pension information, this was sent over 10 days later and missed the lower section off the paper so missed 5 months of data

I called to request a duplicate set as could not use for .gov.uk purposes and have still not received it!

Instead I received 5 posted hardcopies of a letter to tell me that I had updated my beneficiary details. Each one the same and 2-3 pieces of paper and envelope.

Seems very wasteful and inefficient as a way of communicating a change I conducted in seconds online

Hi Darren.

I apologise for the delay you have experienced with transferring to us. We try to make transferring pensions as simple as possible but there are some checks we need to do to make sure we’re sending the right money to the right person.

I have arranged a call back from the relevant team to provide you with an update.

Thanks,

Quick simple and easy to use

Quick simple and easy to use. I recently transferred my pension from one supplier to merge with my nest account. I was impressed with how easy it was and how good the communication was.
