  • Episode 14 - Pension Alternatives

    The financial pressures households experienced during the downturn caused 1.2 million of you to abandon saving into your pensions. Some of you have looked elsewhere to try to secure your future - but with devastating effects.
    In this episode we hear how some of you have ended up losing tens of thousands of pounds, thanks to opportunities that turned out to be very different from the ones you thought you’d signed up to. And in at least one case, the company responsible appears to have totally vanished.
