Very good customer services
Phoenix delayed the transfer of my…
Phoenix delayed the transfer of my pension fund at every opportunity.
The only reason that things moved along at any pace is because I phoned customer services at least once a week.
The only reason I've given 2 stars is because the customer services personnel where always polite and helpful and willing to make an effort to move things along.
it's thanks to them that the transfer didn't take many weeks longer.
Highly efficient!

Had pension pack sent out in June.
Rang on the 7th September, when I had retired to be told I would receive a call back in 5 to 7 days from customerservice. No phone call.
Rang today to be told that customer service were busy and that I would have to start again meaning I have to wait another 5 to 7 days. Apparently they are very busy!! Ombudsman next, I think you forget it is our money.

Had to ask for a manager to complain, which i didn't get to speak to as none available, to try and get somewere. Lad i spoke to bless him sorted it all out after nearly an hour on the phone, he should be made a manager, doing there job for them.

Experience of contacting Phoenix Life
I have been investing with your company (and it's predecessors) for over 40 years. Each time I call for information you are always very polite, helpful and efficient. Everything one needs. I wish this could be said of your Wealth Management division, where my experience was unfortunate enough I had to complain. But, for you, keep doing as you are.
I am still waiting for a call back
Very patient and helpful

Spent ages on the phone linked to sharing my marriage certificate, got a letter today as though such a conversation never happened.
I uploaded my marriage certificate to the email address I was given.
Since March I have gone round in circles

Nearly impossible to get to actually speak to someone. Eventually I was promised a call-back within 72 hours. Did not happen. I had to phone back again to try to get to speak to someone. The excuse was, "We're very busy". Well, employ some more staff!
