Pension advice - any IFAs about?

Could do with speaking to a pension expert. I want to transfer a pension but I'm an insistent client and theres a very marginal safeguarded benefit. Vanguard are insisting I seek advice, even though I would proceed with a transfer anyway, and finding it really hard to find somebody who will give it.

Good rep available to anybody willing to risk their career to sign me off

Gars smars. Biggest racket going

They advise not to and can still proceed

Think 250 is going rate for one off advice. Incentive to try forgery imo

If you can find me somebody for 250 I'll send you 50 on top.

When I transferred mine in 2017 there were still quite a few IFA's willing to sign off. As I recall it cost about £7,000 to do.

There are a couple of guys I know trying to find an IFA willing to do it now and they've only found one willing and even then only if you're over 50.

I've found one guy who said £2,200 which is ridiculous for a fait acompli. I wouldnt mind if you could use your pension to pay for it but you cant with this.

It came out of my pension when I did it but now you mention it I seem to remember the lads moaning about having to pay direct.

It is annoying but they're carrying a lot of risk when we sue them in 20 years claiming we were badly advised.

I think you van sign up for a percrbtage ongoing fee which would get initial cost down then entitled to immediately cancel it straight after ?

Plus the advice can be don't do it and you can still proceed? So they wouldn't be liable

I paid about 2.5k recently for this.

Utter scam.


I think they were called Purely Pensions.
