Pension OVERPAYMENT

Post by jchewitt1967 »

Anyone else this week got a letter from RMPP regarding OVERPAYMENT dated back to April? A few in our office have, with one guy owing £1200 so was wondering how widespread this is . When questioned at the time of receiving the " extra" lump sum RMPP advised that "we don't make errors" so payment was correct!!!! How wrong are they and worrying going forward how correct are future payments.

Yes, my partner received a letter to say that they had overpaid him by just over £3000. But remember that only " a small number of members were wrongly identified". I wonder what their classification of small is, and did it affect other pension schemes that they administer? Who knows if they have the correct amounts now? Altogether very disappointing :sad:

Sounds like quite a few. Unbelievable. The question is if they can overpay by £1000s can they also underpay ? Useless they are.

Really annoys me when this happens, just like the tax office or universal credit over payments, they just hit you with a big "you owe us" well it's your bloody fault not mine, we should not have to pay it back, I got a letter last week saying I owe the taxman £900..

They will just take it out of your monthly pension then.

Got the letter today saying they’d UNDERPAID me almost £4000 since 2011 and I’ll get it in the November payment (presuming the payment paid in Dec.) less a load of tax of course.
Can’t quite believe it. We’ll see eh?
