Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
Dr T’s complaint against SPPA is partly upheld. To put matters right, SPPA shall pay Dr T a further £500, in addition to the redress that it has already offered her.
Complaint summary
Dr T’s complaint concerns an incorrect quotation provided by SPPA in connection with the purchase of Additional Pension (AP) from the Scheme. Specifically:-
· SPPA used new factors to calculate the cost of her AP purchase when those factors were not yet in force. This made it more expensive to purchase AP.
· By the time that SPPA provided her with the correct information, she had been denied the opportunity to adjust the amount of her AP purchase before the new factors were introduced.
