Very Poor Customer Service

Have been unable to access my account, i called customer services who weren't particulalry helpful but did eventually agree to send a letter with my details for access, was informed this will take at least 16 WORKING DAYS to action!! The reason I need access is to port my pension, this experience has cemented the fact. Still yet to receive my letter.

pension contributions.

Hello,

I am contacting you because I would like to request the return of my pension contributions.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with this situation. This is money I have worked hard to earn, and I feel very upset that I cannot access it when I need it.

I understand that pension companies have rules and regulations, but I would sincerely appreciate it if you could review my circumstances and consider every possible option to help me recover my money.

I am respectfully asking you to check whether I am eligible for a refund, withdrawal, or any other lawful way to receive my contributions.

I do not want to feel that my concerns are being ignored. I would appreciate a fair review of my request rather than simply being told that nothing can be done.

Please escalate my request to a manager or the appropriate department if necessary. I would be grateful for your understanding and a clear explanation of what can be done to help me.

I look forward to your response and hope we can resolve this matter positively.

Thank you.

Hi Feisal,

I'm sorry your frustration in this case.

The UK government have set strict rules around how you can access your money, which we have to follow. You can access your Nest Pension from the age of 55. This minimum age will rise to 57 starting in April 2028. For further information please have a look at the article from our website below:
https://www.nestpensions.org.uk/schemeweb/memberhelpcentre/retirement-pot/what-happens-after-taking-money-out.html

Alternatively, you are able to transfer your pension to another provider.

I have passed your details onto the relevant team who will give you a call back shortly to discuss your options.

Thanks,
FP, The Nest Team.

Antwoord van Nest Pensions

Hi Andy,

I'm sorry that we haven't earned a better review from you.

For each new contribution into your pension, Nest receives a 1.8% charge. There is no charge for transferring your pension to another provider.

Please contact out customer service team on 0300 020 0090 for any further queries - they are available Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm and will be able to assist you.

Thanks,

Unreasonable documentation demands and unnecessary barriers to pension transfers

**Unreasonable documentation demands and unnecessary barriers to pension transfers**

I requested a transfer of my pension from NEST to another established UK pension provider. Instead of processing a straightforward pension consolidation, NEST has created unnecessary obstacles by demanding excessive documentation, including:

1. Three months of personal bank statements.
2. Three months of payslips.
3. Evidence of previous pension transfers.

These requirements appear completely disproportionate for a transfer to an established, regulated UK SIPP provider.

I fully appreciate the need for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance, but that should not become an excuse to make transferring your own pension unnecessarily difficult.

The process has been frustrating, bureaucratic and disappointing. Customers should be able to move their pension savings without facing unreasonable demands for sensitive personal information.

**Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid NEST wherever possible.**

Hi Rachana,

I'm sorry that you've found it difficult to transfer your pension.

We try to make transferring pensions as simple as possible. That said, we can't skip any checks that are required under the anti-scam regulations that came into force in 2021.

Please keep an eye out for a message through Trustpilot. I've raised a request for more information so I can connect you with the right people to get this resolved.

Thanks,
FP, The Nest Team.

Hi there,

Anyone who opts out during their first month should get a full refund.

Once that opt-out window has passed, we aren't legally allowed to pay out any pension contributions until you're 55. (This is rising to age 57 in 2028). You can transfer your money to another pension provider, or we'll invest it on your behalf until you can access it.

Nest do have access to your wages. If money is being deducted from your payslip, please check this with your employer.

Or customer service team are available Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm if you would like to speak to someone as soon as possible.

Thanks,
FP, The Nest Team.

For three months now I am waiting for my money
They have these Indians calling and patronizing
It's a scam informed already the pensions ombudsman

It's been a massive setback and they don't care

The returns are pathetic

The returns are pathetic
I have a private pension which has soared this year
The nest pension has barely crept at at all I have been in moderate and high risk fund so have changed the investment criteria to no avail
Fees are exorbitantly high

Advise you to pay minimum into this and search for a better provider

Hi Barry,

I'm sorry that we haven't done a better job for you.

All workplace pension pots invested in markets are subject to short-term ups and downs in the value of assets they're invested in. Our strategy looks to balance risks of loss against potential for long-term growth. This is measured in what's called risk-adjusted returns.

Over the last 3 to 5 years our risk-adjusted returns have been very strong. You can see our average returns at:
nestpensions.org.uk/schemeweb/nest/investing-your-pension/fund-choices/compare-fund-performance.html.

In terms of our fees, I'm really sorry you feel that way. Nest has very competitive charges - a 1.8% change on new contributions into your pot plus an annual management charge of 0.3% on the total value of your pot each year. There are no other fees to pay.

You have the option to transfer your Nest pension to a different provider, you just cannot be actively contributing into it. For more information please see the link below:
https://www.nestpensions.org.uk/schemeweb/nest/my-nest-pension/transfer-your-pension-pots/transferring-your-money-out-of-nest.html

If you have any further questions please get in touch with our customer service team . They're available on 0300 020 0090, Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm.

Thanks,
FP, The Nest Team.

Hi Charlie,

I apologise that you've had a poor experience with us. We take pride at Nest in making things easy for our customers and so we value your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you're not finding our website easy to use at the moment. We'll take your comment into account as we look to improve the experience for members using Nest.

Like all pensions, your Nest pension pot is invested in financial markets like stocks, shares and property. We pick markets that generally rise in proie over the years, choosing ones we think will make money for you over the years, if not decades that you're saving with us. Our goal is to make sure that your pot grows enough to match or beat the rising cost of living.

You can see how our funds are performing at:
nestpensions.org.uk/schemeweb/nest/investing-your-pension/fund-choices/compare-fund-performance.html.

If you have any further questions or would like help with a specific issue, our customer service team is available on 0300 020 0090, Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm.
