Complaint summary
Mrs F, daughter of the late Mr T and a co-executrix of his estate, believes that his pension policy owes a payment to his estate, equal to approximately ten months of arrears in pension payments. However, Phoenix Life has said that the policy was set up in arrears without proportion, so no payment is due.
