“Too much paperwork, not enough information on line, do not answer the phone and when calling from abroad it is very expensive as they put you in a very long waiting line, have requested specific information by post but have not have a reply or sufficient information for me to cash my retirement policy and no information as to cashing in the policy on line.”

“In rained , unable to answer questions, transferred too many times. Letters sent out that don’t make clear wheat needed. Trying to get my own pension transferred internally. Some a re very good , but far too much passing around and not trained as GOOD pension and insurance advisors. Forced me to employ a financial advisor as apparently I can’t make my own decision. Even though their form allowed me sign a declaration sayingI took full responsibility. Money under bed in future. People Kay notable to do the job.”

“What went wrong you ask ? I believe it was a case of forgery. Many years ago. I would never trust prudential or any of its agents all because of one criminal employed there and others who protected this individual.”

“Prudential in the mid 1980's devised a scheme from the top down to have their agents re-sell life insurance policies that were NOT in the best interest of the consumer. Lots of mis-information and false values were given to the customers of several million policies. Prudential was sued in a class action suit that resulted in most policy holders getting shares of the company. Those shares were a mere pittance of the value those policy holders lost when they were convinced to buy new insurance policies, some losing several hundred thousand dollars. Stay as far away from Prudential as you p[possibly can! Read the other reviews to see how you will be treated!”

“They put you through so much to get a hardship withdraw. Have you to send in documents and still turned you down. It is hard to take out your own money. The worst company to do business with”

“This is the WORST company to deal with for a life insurance policy!!! I have had to mail documents 3 times. They don't seem to get mail. When I call in, I get put on hold after giving the information for the claim, and then disconnected!! I am calling the number on the letter I get requesting the SAME information the fourth time. I would NEVER take a life policy out with this company.”

“Of all the companies I've worked with in the last few months on retirement/life insurance needs, this company has consistently been awful to deal with. Their customer service needs to be more trained. Their forms and processes need to be revised. I've spent hours on the phone trying to accomplish basic tasks. Even when my issues escalated, the "senior customer care advocate" was noncommunicative and didn't improve things. Do your family a favor and pick a different company for your life insurance and 401k needs.”

“My mother passed away two weeks ago she had a small policy that she was paying into for 25yrs. Upon her passing we went to file our claims. Terrible hold times, foreign accents, bad connections. The first person, hung up on me after I waited 40 mins. The second person refused to file my claim and insisted I file online. My sisters also had to wait 40mins to an hour, and all were given incorrect information. I called last night, after another 40 min wait, and was told my claim was just certified and I had to wait another 10 days. I asked about my sisters, only one got certified. At no point, did Prudential send an acknowledgement of the claims, on follow up call or email to any beneficiaries saying there was a problem and try to help to resolve it. No agent seems to know how to explain, a claim or the procedures and you get inconsistent information. There were so many more issues, however this giant life insurance company does not know how to treat bereaved relatives. They provided ZERO customer service. Mutual of Omaha, kind, efficient, and expedites, put your money with them. I wish I could give them Zero stars.”

“If Prudential is an American company, they are absolutely the worst company in America!!! They are lying thieves that keep giving you the runaround. Every time we fill out a form for disbursement of an annuity and get assured that that is all we will need to fill out (going on five (5) times filling out and "correcting" forms when told all is perfect after each fill) we get sent YET ANOTHER EMAIL saying that all is not well. They're liars, they're thieves, they play games!!!! If that's what you're going for, Prudential, congratulations!! You've achieved the highest honor!!! BUNCH OF THIEVES AND LIARS!!!! STAY AWAY FROM PRUDENTIAL!!!!!! read other reviews!!!!”

I have managed eventually spoken to Amanda’s she sounded Scottish? I signed 8 documents in May she now tells me it is possible not definite I will receive my money on August the 3rd. This was paid up policy from the age of 65 I was 80 years old in May. I did ask if her phone call was being recorded she said it was!
