DO NOT INVEST YOUR MONEY IN PRUDENTIAL
Well where do I begin! Like the previous writer if I could give less than 1 star I would! Iv'e held a private pension policy... Well where do I begin! Like the previous writer if I could give less than 1 star I would! Iv'e held a private pension policy with the Pru since 1985 and I wanted to cash it in 4 yrs ago. Im now 69 and I could have cashed it when I was 55 but chose to keep paying into it. If I'd have known then what I would have to go through to access my own funds I would have never invested with these guys in the first place. My father swore by the Pru but he would be turning in his grave at the treatment I have endured over the last 4 years. Started trying to access my funds in 2021. I must add that I'm now living in Australia. I spent hours and hours on the phone with various staff being passed down a long line of people who "couldn't deal with my situation" (not sure what they're being payed to do here) only to be cut off after a 2hr plus phone call with no results. This happened on numerous occasions to the point where I really didn't want to have any dealings with them, so I decided instead of drawing an annuity which would have tied me to them, I would withdraw my entire funds and put them in an Australian superfund. This caused even more hassle for me, as I was told I personally couldn't access my full fund and would have to employ a financial advisor to do so. After many official complaints from myself and my financial advisor on my behalf and almost 4 years later I finally have my funds over in Australia and out of Prudentials hands. I cannot begin to describe the worry, stress & anxiety plus financial burden this company has caused me. No pensioner should have to go through this amount of stress at this time in life. I'm convinced that they hope that you will just give up trying to access your money. They are absolutely appalling as a company for investing your money in and my advice is to never ever consider using Prudential UK if you value your savings. Good luck everyone out there struggling in this situation . Read more Read less

Precise instructions in a will on who they had to pay so there's absolutely no reason why still after a year they keep saying there still trying to work out who the benefactors are when it's clearly stated who they were and it seams this is the normal with this company they just make dealing with the death of one of your parents a million times harder then it already is dragging it on let people have closure it's like they really don't care. Takes 28 days for a response from them if you even get one. But as I was told if someone misses a payment there's a letter sent within 3 day and alot of effort get your payment from you. But not when it comes to paying out take my advice if you already have my in this company get it out and with someone else now before your never see it again Read more Read less
