ReAssure
Reassure have recently acquired approximately 1 million of the older style L&G pensions. It is a mixture of Stakeholder plans (ending 01) and also Personal Pensions (beginning UP). For the time-being, I would strongly advise calling L&G if you are unsure whether a clients plan has transferred to Reassure or not, as it is difficult to tell simply by looking at the plan number. To help ease the transfer, Reassure have advised us that they will accept LOAs addressed to L&G, and L&G forms – for the next 3 months. It is also worth noting that the plan numbers will remain the same, as will the structure of the plans.
