Confused for my pension

Called today as I am trying to transfer my pension. Got through to some foreign speaking person with an Indian accent. She would not let me finish speaking and would speak over me. I was trying to get clarity on how to transfer my pension from Barclays who now use this company. Mid speaking to the lady/call handler she put me on Hold. YES SHE PUT ME ON HOLD. So so rude. I was FUMINg have lodged a complaint and will be leaving a google review too.

Appalling!

Third or fourth review! Lost for words. I have asked numerous times for the option pack to be sent to me in hard copy by post. Nothing. I think I've asked five or six times now. I will be seeking legal advice now as I feel this company are just using delay tactics so their customers cannot access their own money!

Don't listen, Don't care

I have emailed over 8 times to find out what my benerficeries could expect to receive in the event of my death should I die prior to retiring. I wanted a specific answer that is applicable to me.
The avoidance to answer is unbelievable. I am now 2 months down the track without answer and this mornings response is an illustration on taking my pension early.
On my previous call I started with 'I wish to make a complaint' and that was ignored!!
So Mondays task is to complain that they didn't log a complaint and sent me info on something I did not request despite nearly busting a blood vessel expressing how annoyed I haven't been given the information I wanted!!
I feel like a hamster on a wheel!!

Calum helped me today on Webchat

Calum helped me today on Webchat and quickly answered my questions that were worrying me. He was efficient and pleasant and explained all the steps that were going to happen over the next month. Normally I hate using webchat - but the direction option to "talk to a human" instead of a bot was great.

Woeful administration and burdensome processes

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Willis Towers Watson’s pension administration has been poor. Basic processes were harder than they needed to be, communication was frustrating, and transferring money out felt far more difficult than seemed reasonable. When a firm is dealing with people’s retirement savings, administration should be simple and efficient. My experience fell short of that standard. The company does little to help people access the relevant forms, there are delays in responses and unnecessary hurdles like demanding wet signatures rather than digital. I believe the relevant regulatory and ombudsman bodies should examine whether these processes are appropriate.
