Pru UK Recensioni 

I noticed Pru of my fathers passing on 15/07/26 and was informed we would hear back by no later than 18/08/26. 3 Weeks after that date nothing. I called customer service, under Pru you spoke to a person within seconds, M&G system and automated messages I got thru directly after spend 3 minutes 35 seconds answering questions. The excuse, a back log. IN THAT CASE EMPLOY MORE PEOPLE. M&G terrible service.
I was told I could make an official complaint but it would take 8 yes EIGHT weeks before I could expect a reply.... Is that what M7G consider customer service?

Very helpful staff, eventually

Company stuck in the past and going nowhere. Look for somewhere better and take your pension away from the Pru, they're toast.

The most frustrating inept company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with!
Over two months trying to surrender a bond to get OUR money out. Initially via our Financial Advisor who I thought was inept and hanging out for another years fees but now realise after taking over from them that it is in fact The Pru themselves.
Generic repetitive useless responses via chat, differing information off agents. No means of speaking to anyone who can actually answer questions. Asking for further information which according to their withdrawal form is not required. I could go on.
Culminating this morning with an email telling me that I have a message on the portal to read. I’ve logged on and can see my documents but no message tab.
I assume it can only be accessed Monday-Friday as per their customer services but they don’t say that. I have made a complaint and my case has supposedly been escalated but I’m not holding my breath. If I could leave no stars I would. I have nothing good to say about this company whatsoever.

Guidance and risks were given very clearly by the member of staff.

This is a review of a recent experience with M&G.

I have been investing with M&G for more than forty years and found them to be consistently incompetent and inefficient, but their mis-steps have now taken a sinister and spiteful turn. Their latest actions are unethical and immoral.

They waited until I had sold units to the value of £10,000 to pay a tax liability in my country of residence before deciding they would require an ID verification before paying out the proceeds. Quite reasonable, you may think. There's too much money laundering out there. I agree, but it was trickery pure and simple. They waiting till I had sold the units, then obdurately refused to carry out the verification online, though this is the industry standard for any financial company in the 21st century. It was deceit of the most blatant kind. Their reason: they couldn't do it online 'on this occasion'. Instead, they demanded that I send certified documents by post, in the full knowledge, as I have told them often enough, that the post between here and the UK takes six weeks. Thus, because they didn't tell me of this requirement until after I had sold the units, they forced me for multiple weeks into a cash position I didn't choose and obliged me to sell other investments to pay the tax bill the £10,000 was intended to cover.

It's no surprise that I am in the process of disinvesting myself from M&G. I'm doing this for the simple reason that I cannot bear the thought of my widow having to deal with such muppets after I die. They take three months to send me a tax certificate every year; the thought of them coping with probate documents is horrifying.

My advice if you ever want to get your money out of M&G: don't put it in in the first place.

Helpful, knowledgeable and polite customers service

Initially it was difficult to speak to someone in the correct department; however, once I was able to discuss my pension with the right person the response assistance and information I received was extremely helpful.

Really happy with the ease of the process and swift response.

The whole process from start to conclusion was simple and straitforward. Instruction were clear, and ensured that confidence in the outcome was secure.

ABLE TO DO WHAT I WANTED ONLINE THEN EXECUTED IN A TIMELY MANNER

Happy with the service and Happy with the outcome

The Pru communication was very clear and precise

Very professional and competent.

The friendly people who arranged my request/

The ease of making my request

After taking 4 months previously to get the first half of MY money out (see previous review), I am now trying to get the rest of my money out. I thought this would be simple, all the forms are completed, bank account associated etc.
However the website refuses to allow this, it just hangs and glitches (across multiple computers, browsers and after clearing cache etc). I have asked them and now they insist we fill out more forms to get hold of MY money.
Never, ever trust this company with your money.

Dreadful!!
Trying to transfer my pension to another provider.

This is supposed to be a stress free and smooth process..

With this lot it is anything but .. They have been incredibly obstructive..a dreadful drawn out process asking me to fill in form after form after form snd basically NOT ALLOWING ME ACCESS TO MY OWN MONEY.

Asking inane question after inane question as if l am a child or possibly cognitively challenged in some way.

I WANT TO TRANSFER MY PENSION TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.
WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT??

Of course they will make reference to the importance of due diligence and making sure that I'm not the victim of a scam etc etc etc etc.

A real two bob tin pot set up..

I really wish I'd never started a pension with this shower.
