Have been with Scottish Widows for 20 years, this year I have been trying to obtain some cash from my account, it is very difficult to get a payment from them they keep asking for more details to be sent via post, I have sent them the info they asked for still no cash I am at a stand still I do not know what to do next.

In the five years since I started my pension with them, they’ve lost money in two. It feels pointless to entrust your hard-earned savings only to see them diminish due to poor investment decisions. Despite claiming on their website that even in a pessimistic scenario, you should see around 2% annual growth, there’s no guarantee of this, and instead, you end up losing money. They seem to manage my money without accountability or legal consequences. Considering inflation, the situation worsens as your savings effectively lose value. Private pension funds appear to be nothing more than a scheme to extract money from individuals. By comparison, I could achieve returns of 5% AER through savings accounts or tax free returns of 6.8–7.8% annual growth by investing in bonds. If I, an ordinary person, can secure such returns, how can these professionals—with their expertise—fail so badly? It’s absurd.

I have had an Investment policy for 5 years and up until recently things have gone smoothly however within last few months there have been delays in monthly income transfers . Although whenever I contact it's always through Clerical Medical customer service who are very good . But it would be ideal to contact Scottish Widows directly. I have now given thought to withdrawing the whole Bond
