Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr R’s complaint and no further action is required by the Trustee or XPS.  

Complaint summary

Mr R has complained that:- 

  • XPS, the administrators of the Plan, miscalculated the cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) of £454,580 that was paid to his ex-spouse under the terms of the pension sharing order (PSO).  

  • When agreeing the distribution of assets, he relied on a lower CETV that was previously quoted to him. As a result, he took out a loan of £50,000, to balance out the division of assets on divorce.
