How to get the money i contributed towards my pension - UK ppl answer only?
I've stopped contributing towards my pension and i asked them to return all my money, through my wages.

It is a local Government Pension

They still have not done this, how do they normally return your money?

I'm not sure, but I think there's some rule like if it's under two years worth then you can get it back otherwise no? I remember going on the DfWP site and seeing something like that. I'm a bit annoyed about it now, cos even though I think a pension is a good idea, the rate things are going none of us is going to live to see old age anyway! Not to be pessimistic or anything, but what with global warming and war...
