      Just sharing my experience with Hargreaves Lansdown. I have had a SIPP with them for many years and it has been fine – until I applied to access the money having recently retired. Because of a minor error in the paperwork from my occupational pension, HL refuse to release any money. They keep telling me to get the letter from the NHS pensions scheme corrected and naturally the NHS people will not co-operate.Then they tell me to get a certificate from HMRC – but the HMRC people will not tell me how to get the certificate because it is a new thing and they dont know how to issue it. So effectively I am stuck, This has been going on for over a month. The SIPP is in my name, but effectively I do not own it, because HL control the access and will not allow me to withdraw my money. Their attitude is basically ‘computer says no’/ Had I known this before I entrusted my life savings too HL there is no way I would have gone near them. I urge readers of this thread to look elsewhere.
