What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Wanted to consolidate pensions

How has Sanjay Badhan helped you?

The initial consultation was OK however I have seen zero financial advice. All we have received is a copy of a web page I can simply Google stating facts such as how many transactions have been completed which has no interest or use.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

No.

What could they have done better?

Each time I have asked for something I have had to follow up or it unfortunately has not been delivered. This time I asked for a forecast which would be delivered for myself and partner and we have received nothing still. This is an expensive service for what is currently being delivered. We also asked for new Transact password and username for my partner which has not been received either.

Sanjay:

Hi Ray, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we welcome all feedback, both constructive and positive. Thank you for the private feedback saying that you would recommend us and that our correspondence is quite clear. I am puzzled by some of the points in the public feedback, as since our meeting last month, we have been waiting to receive your updated figures to enable us to complete your annual reports. Becki from the support team followed up by email on 14th November, and nothing has been received since. In our meeting, we agreed to finalise your reports for you before the end of this year. I explained the forecasts would be in these; however, as discussed, we require your information first to ensure the advice is correct for your circumstances. We requested Transact to send the login details. However, this may have been lost or delayed in the post, given the ongoing strikes. We are happy to re-request this again, but please note that it is not Future Planning withholding this; rather, we depend on Transact, a third party sending them to you. We look forward to receiving your completed information as soon as possible, so we can continue to deliver value for money and those forecasts and reports that I know you are keen to receive. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
