Can you just close a pension, take the money and run?

Its a stakeholder if that makes any difference

nope, dont think so

you can shift it to another pension but have to wait til its term is finished i think

Oh well, just thought it might have been used better else where.

this was the case with me anyway

i looked into doing it a little while ago and it was a no no.

ive never bothered with a pension as with the state of our economy and country in general i dont think there will be any money to be given back to me when its time to recieve
plus the way i drink, smoke, eat and drive i doubt ill make it to retirement age anyway!

this is why i stopped doing mine

had 2 on the go, came to the same conclusion as you and started putting the money into other stuff

just wish i realised earlier as i have a chunk of change just sitting there that i cant touch and wont be worth a great deal
