I lost a property purchase last year due to Pru taking so long with my pension drawdown. I am now in a situation whereby I have been trying to withdraw funds from a Pru bond since last November and I am now faced with legal action from outside parties due to the Pru. See following correspondence which is pretty unbelievable behaviour from a well known company. I would certainly try and look for an investment company with better customer service if you value your cash.

Hello.Sharon ,

I am receiving no replies to my emails regarding the release of my funds from the above bond.
I have put a complaint in as this matter has been dragging on since November however the complaints dept at the Pru have told me I don't have a bond with you?
I am faced with legal action now due to non payment of a debt not related to Pru but for which i await my own funds from the Pru.
This is my own money I am trying to withdraw what exactly is the problem that Pru have ? A property purchase fell through last year also due to the actions of the.Pru .
Can someone help me out here please or at least respond.?

Regards

John S Worley

MATTER WAS FINALLY SORTED OUT VERY QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY BY A REAL HUMAN . THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE MARTIN WALKER EXCELLENT THANK YOU.

absolute disgusting company to put your money in
we emigrated to Australia in 1990 and had a small pension account with the Pru, now my wife is 72 and would like to just cash it in, been over 7 months and they have no intentions of giving her the money, for gods sake its about 3k, Pru was a good company when we left, now just robbing, lying overseas scamming bastards, invest your money elsewhere

Staff were very helpful and easy to understand

I really do not know where to start with this. However, I started the process of trying to access my pension which to start with was fine and understand they have to ensure I have taken advice etc, however, it does not excuse rudeness, being made to feel like a liar when all I want to do is take MY money out of my pension. I have completed the same process with another business and all is now completed. They say contact us through secure messaging so I do and all I get every single time I message is we will be in touch in approx 11 days. This is the third 11 days message I have received.... not anymore I am seeking legal advice as sick of being fobbed off. To say I am cross and unhappy with the way I have been treated is an understatement.

Very helpful- making sure you know all the options and implications of taking pension funds

While it took over 1.5 hours on the phone to complete the outcome was swift and took account of the reason for the withdrawl. As I was asked to complain about the length of time it took, a few days later I received a sorry gift from The Pru, which I did not expector request

Despicable experience with prudential pensions. Stemmed back before my mum’s diagnosis where they spent years saying they could not find her pension because it was ‘too old.’ Since a terminal diagnosis, which they were told about, she has been given false information and absurd requirements to access her pension. One of these was a HAND WRITTEN letter that they wanted her to write from her hospital bed on a palliative care ward. They have failed to change any of their processes or communication since we informed them of the health condition and from our perspective are deliberately running down the clock. This has included insisting everything is delivered by post. We are utterly disgusted by our experience with them and intend to escalate this to make our story known.

I have been trying to do my first pension drawdown for months this year. It's just IMPOSSIBLE. Customers service is poor, replies are vague, you cannot get anything in writing from them, not even if you send them an internal platform message. They delay you and fob you off with a far too many excuses.

**THEY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO ACCESS YOUR PENSION**

Utterly disgraceful outfit. Trying to get my own money,(very small amount in pension terms) like pulling teeth. Truly awful people who make it as difficult and lengthy a process as possible. Absolutely no regard for older people or people with mental health issues who are not 'tech savvy'. I wanted some money to pay for new spectacles . Ive lost all interest, they can shove it.

Very profitable investment and when it came to withdrawing some funds it was completely without fuss or delay

My grandaughter topped up her investment by cheque, but Santander blocked the transaction for a security concern as it was for a large amount. Even though the money has not left my Santander account, Pru have still credited my account. Depite secure messages and phone calls to them, they have not replied. It is very generous of them to credit my account when they have not received the money!!!!

Dealt with Pru for many years
Never had a problem

On the whole the company is good to deal with although I feel some of the procedures are a little outdated and could be modernized to streamline procedures a bit

The people I spoke to were helpful, concerned that I understood the implication and where he was not sure he asked for assistance. so aaifeltreassured that the info received were accurate

We exposed the true fact that BN15 8GB has no Prudential office at this ONS postcode. Its a small residential close near Shoreham airport ...no offices at all

What we highlighted is that mail isnt delivered by Royal Mail to BN15 8GB ..but is delivered to a branch office of Paragon Customer Communications on Lancing Business Park for which the postcode is BN15 8FB.

F and G lie adjacent on the keyboard. So why not explain what actually happens to mail addressed to BN15 8GB ..its important as Pru solicitors Allen and Overy used the same postcode 2019 when notifying policyholders of court application to transfer significant "certain business".

The same postcode used for PO Box 3122 BN15 8GB ..but the address for PO Boxes at Royal Mail sorting centre is a different postcode again.

Instead of gobbledegook messages about "our mailing partners" policyholders have a right to know.

The FCA registered address for PRU complaints appears to be a named person at Fenchurch Avenue .. ( not Paragon Communications at Lancing Business Park. BN15 8FB ).

Why all the smoke and mirrors ? Not very transparent ..

We have mail from same period for BOX 3122 from 2 different firms .. 2022 ... different postcodes for same PO Box 3122 ..

The mail "social@prudential....." appears totally disingenuous.. who sent that ?? Own up .. when other mail comes via M&G FA Ltd platform.

There us of course a huge glitzy office at Fenchurch Avenue.

Best to be transparent re mail delivery and processing .. AND ..who precisely is "social@prudential.... going to reach ?

FCA register text reads

Firm Name: The Prudential Assurance Company Limited

Firm Reference Number: 139793

Address: 10 Fenchurch Avenue London, EC3M 5AG, UNITED KINGDOM

Telephone: +440800000000

Email: info.. at ...

Website: ..mandg etc

Explain why ..and how initial postcode error occurred . And current mail routing via third parties
Original error (an easy mistype ??) understood to have been made under Prudential plc on or before 2014 ..when address adapted from Stirling address Scotland .

Please explain. Please .. No more pseudo reaching out from unknown email addresses .

Well I took my policy out when I was 19 now I'm 65 a lot of things have changed like pudential do not pay out now so it costs you money that you have saved with them to get another firm to pay you which I don't think's right besides that very good

The online service was ineffective to deal with my enquiries.

I have been trying to claim my mothers small life insurance policy following her death almost three months ago without success, I have provided all required documents, in some cases having to do that twice. After phone calls I am left confused as to what is still required. I am a seventy year old living on a pension and had to pay for her funeral with a card. I am at a loss as to how to proceed next. I am currently waiting for the phone to be answered, thirty minutes so far.

No actual real responses other "responses take up to 8 days". No acknowledgement of documents submitted. Very generic messaging. Real concerns it's a fully automated system. Only consistantly response is "process takes 4-6 weeks(first stated 14 weeks ago). Querying anything receives no response relevant to the issue.
