I presently live in Alberta. In March 2002, I had $25,000 in a locked in pension, that money now has shrunk to less than $19,000. Because I have not been working, I would like to access some or all of my locked-in pension in order to pay off my debts (car payments, etc). Provincial laws do not allow me to do that, but I have found a company in Ontario that will give me 30% in cash if I transfer my money to them. I have been told there are many companies like this in Ontario that are scams. Without access to my pension money, I will soon be thinking about bankruptcy myself. I would like to know of any way to access my pension funds. I am even prepared to relocate to Quebec or Ontario in order to access those funds. Those two provinces do allow you access to your funds when in financial distress.
