stop contributions nest pension - 1 month and no option online, only call or post
trap
I am going to make sure none of my colleagues signs up for this stupid pension.
Increase the opt-out date by more than 1 month, you are forced to sign up and then trapped for 1 month and then forever

Too much paperwork (and electronic paperwork) to understand!
I am still unsure about the calculations now!

*After my review I was contacted by Nest. I have since spoke to their team 4 additional times on the phone, sent over evidence already received twice to be told on the 2nd of July it was being resolved within 24 hours as "they had everything they needed". To then receive another 'you may have 2 accounts but we need more details' letter on the 7th and a "please confirm your name for us again on the 3rd". A complete joke - I am now escalating to both the pensions ombudsman and the financial conduct authority or violating consumer duty regulations.
I would give 0 starts if possible. I have been attempting to transfer 2 pensions out of NEST for months and it has been a nightmare. Pension providers are legally required to treat customers fairly and they are clearly violating the Financial Conduct Authority (and I've escalated this to them).
I have spoke to Nest at least 8 times, confirmed all unique identifiers; NI, name, ID, addresses, policies numbers and company names. I have instead been told they cannot do anything except send me a PDF form (which I had to chase) for which I have printed out, manually filled in and returned to their offices. I have done this THREE times and been given no update. Instead I get a bi-monthly "you may have multiple accounts".
Unbelievably terrible service and maliciously designed to prevent you from transferring your funds away from them.
Avoid at all costs.

Nest has made it very easy to control my pension and to plan for my future. I am very pleased with service and looking forward to see what else they can provide.

I use the online information; the website is clear and user-friendly.

Not sure how this company has got 4 stars?
Service is absolute rubbish
They wouldn’t know good customer service if it bit them on the nose!
Have a read of all the other 1 star reviews on their website….not Trustpilot
Nobody seems to have got their money!
