Pension query

[tigwig]

I apologise in advance if this sounds really thick but Mr tigwig had a pension scheme going when he was employed back in 2005 for around 2 years. I have just been digging stuff out of the cupboards and stumbled across it. When he left the company the payments were stopped and no more contributions were made by either them or us. My question is what happens to that pension now? Can he get anything back from it?

He can't 'cash it in'. It will be kept in storage until he retires and draws it as a pension/lump sum. He can't do that until he's at least 50- maybe older depending on his age. How old is he? Or he may be able to get a transfer value and transfer into his next pension scheme

Write to either the company or the pension provider and ask about it. He may have been paid back when he left the company; depends on the value of the fund. You should have reference no's etc on the paperwork that you've found.
