What’s the best way to complain?Social Media is now having a huge effect on our complaints. Companies do not want to see our moans and growns "out there". One company was dealing with my issue within 5 minutes of a post on Twitter whereas it had taken 6 months previously to sort it - they had my cash of course!ViewDate:

The future of State pensions..at last some information came through..under the current scenario I would get £10 more than the basic state pension - due to superannuation accrued - ..under the new flat rate I will get at least £25 less than the new pension..I see now.. we'll lose out even though it was never our intention, as we did not know when we opted out, the actual effects and costs to us..indeed, as the figures show, I would have got slightly more..I appreciate that I have my teacher' pension but that is well deserved..would you teach for more than 30 years?..exactly!..very annoyed and this is not over yet..ViewDate:

The future of State pensions..as a retired teacher..still under 65..I was looking forward to a full state pension..despite being contracted out for over 20 years I still had 42 years NI contributions in total..the DWP has still not told me what I'll get under the new arrangements, despite asking some three weeks ago when I was told it would take 10 days.. -
