Phone call started at 9.20am, ended at 10.35am. He went at everything at such a pace that there was no way we could write it down! We understood none of it. We were spoken to like we should know everything!! If we knew everything, we wouldn't have needed the call. Very disappointed,left in tears, and absolutely exhausted. Honestly, I'm broken here 😢 😭

The money helper person was very knowledgable with excellent sensitive approaches and strategies to us all, and above all, his commitment, compaction and his communications skills made me feel free to talk about my complicated money issues

I was looking for guidance on whether to transfer previous work pensions to my new work pension provider. The agent I spoke to was very knowledgeable and made it clear he couldn’t tell me what to do. He gave me the questions I needed to ask my pension providers to determine whether the transfer would be better for my money and as a result I have been in contact with them and have received the relevant information to be able to make my decision. As someone who finds
Pensions difficult to understand in terms of how they are invested, the agent was extremely helpful personable.

Waited 15 mins in a queue on the phone then when someone answered me, they hung up the call!!!!

Made a call.
Asked a simple question about a private pension that is nearing maturity.
Was told that it was a service that is NOT offered.
Asked again to confirm I was hearing the answer correctly.
End of conversation.
Diversity employee?

Very helpful staff member explained all my options in a very pleasant and respectful way. I understood before I contacted moneyhelper that I would not be given any financial advice, but he helped me clear my mind and signposted me to other agencies that would provide more information if needed. Very pleasant man indeed.

I asked a specific pension question, that was answered swiftly and fully. I got all the information I needed. I definitely would use it again.

Money Helper is good for general guidance on pension matters. They discussed the various options available but at the end of the day it's better to seek professional advice from an independent financial advisor to help you make the right decision on where to invest.
