“Profit over Disability. Very disappointed... (Constant Gaslighting by Prudential) I'm very sad to write this review. I've dealt with this Insurance Company, Prudential on a personal level since mid 2023 with the long-term disability division. They constantly use a forceful system of gaslighting of emotional abuse towards me. What is your status? When are you going back to work? What are they doing to help you? Hold on please tell me that you have my medical records on file from the Dr's medical records that you requested. Which the Drs on thier file send in when requested by Prudential, but Prudential is always looking for me to say something different from their review. When you ask Prudential about the Dr. files that they just received by their request. Prudentials responds to me, the following that they need another review of the review of the documents that were just sent in by the Dr's. Prudential is constantly looking for a different answer from the answer already given in the documents already received. They are constantly asking the same questions over & over, knowing that your not able to answer them due to the medical teams evaluation of the symptoms of the diagnosis. I'm still asking myself I don't understand how you want from millions of customers (clients) to purchase insurance from Prudential? Prudential looks for ways to shorten your need with the benefits no following through with your claim till you call them. Im so sad to say that Prudential treats me as if I'm scum & not a paying customer. Just to say they have thousands of truck drivers that have long term disability insurance with this group, Prudential. It's so sad to see them constantly act as if I'm a problem to their bottom line of profit over my disability not to perform work duties any longer. I'm so sad over their actions and I'll let every truck driver know continously of how I am treated by Prudential. Especially when your in need of your benefits. Which we have paid for years over years. Some never use them and when one does it becomes a problem. Profits over disabilities is how I feel. Their actions of continous behavior have only stressed and grieved my Wife and I. Like I said it's sad that you pay for a benefit for disabilities to be treated as a problem. Very disappointed client. 😔”

“Absolutely horrible customer service. They claim they can't find your policy. Won't answer questions. Found out I was calling South Africa. Can't understand what they're saying. Awful experience. No stars. After paying this company for years, no one should have to go through this stress.”

“I live in Malaysia, I started a claim to withdraw my pension last year which was the start of a stressful situation. Prudential lost my paperwork, including copies of passports and bank details, which I had to courier agiain. They have stated that they have tried to deposit my pension in my bank two months ago, but my bank has denied this. I call each week to the Prudential helpline, they promise to call back but never do. Because I have started to claim my pension I cannot access the onine portal, so I can only call from Malaysia. Over the past few months Prudential will not help, never return calls, and I have lodged several complaints, which they did not record. I finally managed to file a complaint this week. I called back today and was informed that they have 8 weeks to look into my complaint and why Prudential have not paid me my pension. They will respond via mail which takes several weeks to Malaysia. All it would take is a call from them to sort this out, the only response I get is that my call will be added to my file. What else can I do? any advice would be appreciated.”

“I've had a very bad experience with this company. AVOID!! They won't make good on a legitimate life insurance policy purchased in 1939. They hide behind paperwork that's already been completed. They claim to be behind in payment processing, PROBABLY DUE TO CASH FLOW PROBLEMS.”

“As a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, made the claim in April everything was excepted April 4, was told it would take 15 to 20 business days. Still no direct deposit. When my husbands mother passed it only took MetLife 5 days! I am glad that my own life insurance is not with Prudential! However will be checking with my own life insurance company to find out what the turn around time will be when I pass. Unacceptable, looks like they want to keep your money as long as possible. However the customer service people are friendly and helpful…..It’s the accounting people who need to get there $hit together! Find life insurance with another company, and before you purchase ASK what the turn around time is for your family!”

“I am trying to cash out my modest pension pot and they have told me that my bank account is showing as a foreign currency account and they cannot pay me my money. The account is a UK Barclays current account. I have checked with Barclays and they say that they should have no problem paying the money onto that account. I have contacted them by online messaging and the response time is poor to none existent. Customer service by the Prudential is less than zero.”

“Worst insurance company to get help from. I applied for benefits thru my employer and got 2 payments back in December and January,but my doctor's office was late with setting me up with a current appointment that was past the deadline and was dropped as a patient because they had not heard back from my lawyers office by a certain time, I was finally able to get an appt,but didn't meet the deadline,I explained to my representative what the issue was and I was still declined. I have a torn up knee that requires surgery and was hoping to get some payments since I could no longer work at full capacity, but dealing with Prudential has been an absolute joke,keep paying us the money,but when you need help,to hell with you. Thanks for nothing Prudential. Just want to add something else,now I see how insurance companies work and why they all have bad reviews.”

“My husband passed away middle of January 2024. Rang Pru to inform them. They sent a letter with a form advising me to send Death Certificate which I did with a letter informing them my last husband did not have a Will and that I, being his wife and next of kin that was why I had been in contact with them to make a claim on his Life Assurance Policies. I have telephoned Pru Customer Service many times since then. I was told on the last telephone call that they sent a letter on 11 April - which I had not received and still do not have receipt of that letter to date. I asked what was the gist of the so-called letter of 11 April and was told the matter would have to go to Probate and/or Letters of Administration. As there was no Will and I am next of kin and wife the matter need not go to Probate and/or Letters of Administration. Have made an on-line complaint on Pru's secure e-mail and am waiting for a reply. Absolutely disgraceful when I am grieving and trying to get my life in order. No empathy or compassion.”

“Do NOT do business with Prudential. 5 months trying to get an AD&D claim resolved. Nothing but "review" delay and stalling. Same excuses call after call.”

“Prudential will do anything possible to avoid paying on a death benefit claim. On Feb. 26th, I contacted Prudential by phone about a life insurance claim. The representative asked many questions and told me that my money would be deposited in my bank account within 10 - 15 business days. No need to file paperwork or provide a death certificate. (I did questioned that.) Too good to be true! Indeed it was... the following week I received the paperwork, filled out the forms, provided documents, and sent it certified mail. It was received on March 21st. Today, I made call #4 to check on the status of this claim (50 mins 31 secs). The following is a synopsis of all calls and includes excuses/reasons for non payment: - We are waiting for the funeral bill/agreement (I included it with the original paperwork because it was specifically requested. Why do you need this? I paid the funeral expenses.) - We are waiting for the funeral bill; (Why? I already told you, I paid it!) - We can't do the bank transfer because you have a joint bank account, and you are the sole beneficiary. (Odd. My joint account accepts other checks that are payable only to me. Just deposit it. My bank will accept it.) - We have to call the funeral home to verify that they were paid because they sent us a bill. (NO, THEY did not send you a bill. I DID! Your form requested funeral agreements/bills. You must know that it came out of the same "certified mail" envelope.) - We are waiting for confirmation that the funeral bill was paid. (I'll wait. Call them now.) - We're waiting for documentation that the funeral bill was paid. (What documentation? I provided the documents. Why are you so concerned about the funeral home? You have no obligation to them. Your contract was with the decedent, and I, as beneficiary, should be your first priority.) Today is the last time I will contact Prudential. I informed the representative that I will be checking my bank records for a deposit in four days, and finding none will contact my attorney to act on my behalf. So glad that I do not have any policies with Prudential.”

“If there was a zero star review I would have selected that. Worst costumer service I have ever experienced in my life. Hours of time on hold just to get the run around. If you have a choice on your insurance company don’t choice prudential.”
