Virgin Money Stakeholder Pension: ... problem: I had £70,000 in a pension scheme that was about to close, so I had to move it FAST. The solution: Find a new pension scheme quickly and transfer the money in. Should be simple, right? Pensions are never simple. A week researching the many different types of pension, of trawling through recommendations only to discover that the terms and conditions have changed or the scheme is no longer active. I w...
