Evaluating 47 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers consistently report a shocking lack of service delivery and performance, particularly concerning pension payments, which often experienced significant delays or complete non-payment. Reviewers frequently highlighted the company's incompetence and poor administration, especially regarding the Civil Service Pension scheme. People faced immense difficulties contacting the company, encountering long wait times, disconnected calls, and unhelpful, untrained staff.

Capita stopped paying my pension …

Capita stopped paying my Gilette Pension whilst I was on holiday as I hadn't filled in and returned a document they sent. After several unanswered e-mails to them and returning the the completed document marked 'urgent' and sent by recorded delivery I still have heard nothing. My pension for March and April have not been paid causing several problems.

My husband passed away 6 weeks ago and after notifying capita in the first week I've had to ring again twice, each time I've been told paperwork is ready to be posted, to date I haven't received anything. This is the only company that hasn't responded kindly.

Rubbish customer service

Been trying with my friend for over three weeks to find out why his private pension payments have stopped and am still waiting for Capita to reply. Appalling service to anyone but my friend is 84 with dementia and getting very upset.
