I have invested my SIPP with Hargreaves Lansdowne for many years. I am now trying to access the money having recently retired. Due to a minor error in the paperwork provided by my occupational pension scheme (NHS), HL are refusing to release my money and place the SIPP into drawdown. The NHS are predictably refusing to correct their mistake. HL will not help me at all. In effect I have ceased to own my retirement savings because I cant access my money. I foolishly entrusted this firm with my money and it has been a total disaster. I strongly urge readers to avoid my mistake.
