“Well, I finally reached 65. Having saved with Prudential for my retirement for years. Never missed a payment once and was excited to think they would contact me about my retirement and options. Oh dear! How stupid of me!!!! Not a damn word from them, letter, phone call, email, nothing. Absolutely gutted with Prudential customer service, not even worth one Star ⭐ disgraceful All round. Take my advice do not take a pension out with a Micky mouse 🐁 company that cannot look after there loyal customers. Kevin Willard. Kent.”

“I have a small pension fund which I wish to cash in, you would think it was their money! I am continuously told untruths with regards to when I will get MY money. Ongoing delaying tactics. The Man from the Pru, these days, is associated with a company that cannot be trusted.”

“I have been asking for a copy of my life insurance plan for more than 6 months. Prudential has stated they do not give out copies of the policy. How crazy is that! I pay for a life insurance policy and they don't give you a copy? Obviously they have not plans on paying out a claim. All they have to say is "we do not cover that in the policy". Since I have no policy I can not take them to court or sue them. Just think if I bought a house and the lender said "we don't give out a copy of the deed, but just trust us the house is yours". Stay clear of this company. Obviously not the same company my parents or grandparents use to deal with.”

“Have a small pension which I wish to cash in, you would think it was their money, announcing on the.phone for 45 mins then get to speak to someone who pass me on to someone else, again hanging on, I just hung up. Think it would be different if you were taking a.policy out with them and giving them your money. Dreadful Gary Gregg”

“A trust fund was set up in 1999 with 3 trustees. When I took over responsibility for operating the account for the policy holder in April this year, Prudential advised me that they did not hold any paperwork for the investment as it was too old and their records did not go back that far. They insisted that there was only one trustee for the policy, and admitted that the trust required a minimum of two trustees, and that they had incorrectly set up the trust in 1999. They blocked withdrawals from the account until additional trustees had been appointed. They initially advised me to get a solicitor to draw up a new trust deed at my expense, although later they sent me a form to make the appointment which only required witnessing. After hours on the phone, I am having difficulty accessing the funds. They requested so many types of i.d. which have all been sent to them. I made a complaint to the Ombudsman, and his investigation is continuing. An absolute nightmare of a company to deal with, and I would class their service as completely incompetent.”

“THIS REVIEW SHOULD REALLY BE MINUS 5!! This review should really be MINUS 5! My mother passed away last October, leaving two offshore bonds on which death benefit was due. She regarded this as a simple matter since she had gone to great lengths to make it so. We are now 10 MONTHS and counting! The death benefit claim is now the subject of a formal complaint from our solicitor who is still trying to wind up the estate. A whole host of emails and letters were simply ignored. In January, three months after my mothers death Pru wrote to her IFA, long retired, saying they were cashing in the bonds ready for payment! Pru Offshore are simply an utterly sluggardly and incompetent organisation. As a matter of principle I decided to cash in my onshore bond since I want nothing more to do with the Pru. The Onshore department assured me that they would do better and they did, payout happened in just over a week! At least in their case, making a fuss worked! Which begs the question what Offshore are doing!! 10 MONTHS 10 DAYS AND COUNTING. Fancy buying Pru products, forget it!”
