Financial adviser/pension adviser recommendation wanted

[rlw]

I need some help with dealing with my three pensions which all come with different conditions, maybe put it all in one etc, and as I'm 64 I need to do it soon.

Can anyone recommend a financial/pension professional who can advise me on the best way forward. No dodgy geezers please......................

You could start by contacting The Pensions Advisory Service on their helpline. They do not give advice but they do give guidance. All free. So they could explain what your possible options are, which may be specific to each pension you have, and the advantages and disadvantages of those options. You could then see an IFA with a better idea of what you can and should not do.

You can try www.unbiased.co.uk or www.vouchedfor.co.uk. Those links are paid for, but it'll get you a decent choice in your area. Or, you can search on the Money Advice Service website. This one is free for advisers to use, although not all advisers choose to be on there.

Ginge R is being modest in not recommending himself, he has a very good rep amongst PH'ers...

At 64 I would defo be looking at advice and I would be focusing in on any cost / benefits to amalgamating pensions so near to fruition.

Oh, and yes, I would contact Ginge R.
