Using the Pension Finding Service
If you’re still struggling – perhaps because you can’t get hold of your previous employer – then you can try the Pension Finding Service. This is a database of pension plans that allows you to search for your employer’s name, to see if there’s a record of their pension provider.
You can contact the Pension Finding Service in several ways. You can search the Pension Finding Service’s database online, phone the service on 0345 6002 537 or write to them at this address: The Pension Service 9, Mail Handling Site A, Wolverhampton, WV98 1LU.
Bear in mind that the Pension Finding Service can only provide contact details for pension providers: it won’t tell you whether you have a pension or how much your pension is worth. To find out confidential information about your pension you’ll need to contact your pension provider directly.
The online database is easy to search. You’ll be asked what type of pension you’re looking for before inputting the details of your employer or pension scheme. If either is in the database a selection of results will be displayed.
