Decide Whether To Consolidate Old Pensions

You've had four jobs, so you've got four pension pots, and the idea of finally combining them into one is appealing right up until you remember one of them might have a guarantee worth keeping. This lays out the case each way and exactly what to check before doing anything. Suits anyone with scattered old workplace pensions.

<task>
1. **Decide** which factors are relevant to this choice: exit penalties on old schemes, valuable guarantees that might be lost on transfer, ongoing fees, and how much simpler tracking becomes with one pot.
2. List what the user should check on each old pension before doing anything.
3. Do not recommend consolidating or staying put, present the factors only.
