Complainant: Mr E

Complaint Topic: Misquote/misinformation

Ref: PO-15428

Outcome: Not upheld

Respondent: 1. Teachers' Pensions (TP)
2. Southampton City College (Southampton)

Type: Pension complaint or dispute

Date: 18 September 2017

I do not uphold Mr E’s complaint and no further action is required by TP or Southampton.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.

Mr E has complained that:-

In 2001, Southampton’s Human Resources department (Southampton HR) provided him with incorrect information that TP did not usually accept transfers into TPS.
In 2016, TP refused a request he submitted to transfer pension benefits he had built up in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) between 1999 and 2001 into TPS.
