I have a company pension that I have been paying into for the last 14 years. The company I work for has signed everyone one up for the new government plan.
I have contacted standard life and have been told that I can move that pot into the new plan, convert it to a personal plan and pay into it, or leave it as is, frozen.

My question is I was under the impression that if you had a company pension you were paying into you wouldn't be signed up for the new one and that this was for new savers. Should I be forced to move into the new plan and should I have been signed up for the new plan in the first place.

As always thanks in advance.
