If you get a telephone call about your pension – ignore it – if you get an e mail about your pension – ignore it

Please be aware that telephone “cold calling” about pensions was banned back in August 2017 and this includes e mails and text messages. So, if you receive a telephone call, e mail or text about your pension – just ignore it. Unless of course the call or e mail is from your financial adviser, who you are dealing with!
A firm of financial adviser in the South was fined £40,000 this week by the Information Commissioners Office for sending over 2 million e mails about pensions, without having marketing consent. The firm claimed to have been advised that this was lawful, but why would you send 2 million e mails out anyway? As you’d expect Christina Clegg Financial Planning Services, does not engage in cold calling in any way either by telephone, or e mail.
