Previous Employer not sending pension information

[Delber]

Hi

In a previous employment circa 2007 I had a pension set up by my employers but I never contributed to it but they did. I cant remember now what the terms of this agreement was i.e if I left before a certain time the pension would not be transferable

I cannot locate any documentation about this and I have contacted them but they have not come back to me
I also contacted several pension companies asking if they held any pension in my name ( i gave name address & PPS #)
One pension fund did reply and said that i would have to contact the broker (this is actually the previous employer as they were also pension brokers)

I am trying to figure out how I can establish if this fund is transferable to me or is it now defunct
The value would not be very large as i think it was operational for a period between 12-24mths before I left, bu t am setting up a pension now and if this was already there it would be easier to start contributing to it

Any advice or pointers as to how I can figure out where to get the information

Thanks in advance

Were you an employee of that company for more than 2 years?

Yea I was but at the time I left I cant recall when the pension was setup in that it may have only been active for the last year of my employment

Thanks

If they won't provide you with information on your pension, report them to The Pensions Authority. They take a very dim view of that kind of thing.
