Evolve Pensions has worked for me.

Evolve Pensions has worked for me because they create tailored plans to suit individual needs and requirements. When the plan matures it enables the person to live a life they have been looking forward to.

I had pensions contributions with Evolve Pensions whilst working with an employer that uses them. I left the employer a long time ago but Evolve Pensions wouldn't transfer my Pensions to my private Pensions. They're so complicated and have very poor customer service.

Hello,

We're sorry that you are disatisfied with the service you have received. Unfortunately as we are a workplace pension provider we required confirmation from your Employer that you had left which we did not receive from them when you left. However we can see now that we have received that data that you have been able to progress your transfer.

If you have any further questions please contact us at info@evolvepensions.co.uk

Evolve Pensions data fail.

Evolve contacted me by post around March 2021 stating they were missing me and could log into their new online service. Tried their recommended methods QE code Fail, return of postal response form fail.
Do not recognise email or password try again, the perpetual nonsense begins, this account is locked.The online system is useless.
As a data subject I was asked by a data handler Evolve Pensions to post and leave personal information on recorded systems that were ignored for well over a year. Leave your details and we will contact you fail. This happened on several occasions while constantly being ignored and told to us a non functional online system.
