Pension Tracing Service (PTS) is a free service which aims to help people find pension schemes they have 'lost touch' with. This may have happened because of a change in employment or a company may have changed its name. Whatever the reason, Pension Tracing Service may have the required information. They have access to a database of over 200,000 occupational and personal pension schemes and can be used to search for schemes and their up to date contact details.
