Ignore the above spam post.

When is the company pension due to start to be paid? Is it a HMRC approved pension scheme?

The OR told me that my Company pension was safe but that she would inform them of the bankruptcy just in case for some reason it paid out within the next year in which case the OR would take it but if not then it would be left for retirement. Hope that makes sense?



Went Br 20th July 2010...Just the OR to face now then countdown for 1 year...Or interview 30th July.

My pension was never mentioned and I was able to carry on paying into it.

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we cannot eat money.

Last IPA payment made on 30th June 2010 - it's over at last!

I believe that the pension is only mentioned if you can draw a lump sum out of it whilst you are bankrupt, if that is the case the OR will want a % for your creditors

The simple option is to call your HR or payrol department and ask them if you can draw a lump sum for say house repairs, if they say NO then your pension should be safe, these schemes are HMRC approved.

If you can get a lump sum then please seek guidance
