Subject

Mr Crick, Mrs Crick and Mr Parker complain that maladministration by Friends Life caused a delay to their transfer of funds from the Scheme to purchase annuities.

The Pensions Ombudsman’s determination and short reasons

The complaint should not be upheld against Friends Life as there is no evidence of maladministration and the length of time taken to process the transfer following the receipt of the transfer forms was not unreasonable.
