Complaint summary
Mrs S’ complaint against Mercer and the Trustee concerns delays in facilitating her transfer. Specifically:-
-
She made a valid application to transfer the CETV of her benefits within three months of the guarantee date. Mercer intentionally delayed the transfer, in the knowledge that the Scheme would be entering a Pension Protection Fund (PPF) assessment period (the Assessment Period). She has suffered a financial loss as a direct result.
