Hi everybody,
Hope this is in the right sub-forum.
I have been with my present employer for 26 months, during this time I was asked to set up a stakeholder pension with Standard Life. For all sorts of reasons this never happened but my employer continued to take my personal contribution (£20/month) and theirs (£350) into account and have ringfenced this into their budget. I am now leaving my employer next Friday and am 3/4 into setting up the Standard Life pension. My employer are happy to send in bulk the monies owed directly to Standard Life - although I assume without the projected interest that I have lost over the course of the two years.
I need a legal answer as to whether I am entitled to my personal pension contributions being returned to me and the employer contributions obviously being sent to Standard Life. I cannot get a straight answer from either the Pension Advisory Service, Standard Life or my own employer's book keeper.
Any help much appreciated.
