Pension Liberation Schemes

The Report

Available for over a year

It can begin with a simple text inviting you to release money from an old pension before you are fifty five, the earliest age at which you can officially access your money. People in financial difficulties may be tempted to sign up, but will they ever see their money again? Simon Cox investigates the dangers of "pension liberation" schemes.
