Hello all,
I have been going through a looong exercise lately in order to decide on my pension plan. I have spoken to a few IFAs (some of them from reputable firms) but i can not say i have found anyone yet that impressed me. Maybe it is just me of course...
The best one so far put me off a bit with his behaviour when he realised that i would shop around first and that i wouldn't take his opinion/offer immediately.
The guy i talked with today, for the second time, was promising and very qualified, working for a well known firm. However, half of the numbers in the illustration document he had prepared for me were wrong, plus at the end he tried to make me sign a document to pay for the work he had done so far for me, even if in his keyfacts doc it is mentioned that if he wants money, he needs to let me know about it before the meeting starts.
My current IFA (from whom i bought my PHI and life insurance) haven't bothered replying to my emails for 3 weeks now, so no more businesss for him from my side!
I could have gone for a plan online myself, i decided though that i would rather get some advice and maybe pay a bit more as it should worth it long term
So, if you are very happy with your IFA at the moment , could you please give me his coordinates? You could send me a private message if you do not want to post it in public
Many thanks
